Losers are using AI

Full of fake players and people using AI

I recommend it!!!

Het is een levendig spel, en je kunt er lang in vast komen te zitten.

Desapontado!!!

Não sei como jogar!

Cheating app

Nicgroningen on

Netherlands

Lot of cheaters. It seems a hacked app by russians. And many bugs. Often you cant move the pieces.

Super

Geweldig spel! Ik vind het erg leuk

Unfair

Lati_dude on

It’s really unfair to play. You should get equal opportunities to start with Black or white. But that’s not happening. You always get only one chance to start with white and then you have to start with black for almost 4 consecutive games.

I love lichess

Lichess is free and easier to use than chesscom. The analysis board is much better. This app needs a bit of an update though. It could use the latest stockfish and maybe some more puzzle modes like on the website. I assume the app is open source, so I’m not sure if dev contributions are accepted?

Het mysterieuze mens on

Netherlands

Somehow manages to offer everything for free what chess.com let’s you pay for. Computer analysis, limitless puzzles, lessons, but also more like player database, tournaments and nice features like request take-back and add seconds to opponents clock.

Honestly…

…There are lots of bugs, when i tap play with a friend its says Anonymous invited you, and i cant click it away, and theres always cheaters that make perfect moves, improve it, the robot you can play to, sometimes hes waááy too strong, or he's tóó weak, and i keep playing with people that aren't my level (beginner) and i have an account on the site but i cant log into it from the app, small chance youre reading this far, but thanks, IM NOT DONE! Also, the online people always have a way to win, if you wanna play from me from site: ArinaLoveChess (\_/) make better graphics (• •) | > and make where u can select with someone from same level, Small chance you read this all, good thing: its free 🆓, nothing else is good (\_/) (•_•) | > not really good, but its good that its free
