Really Bad Chess+

i’m addicted to this game. i don’t even play much chess, but this version is sooo fun. whoever came up with this idea is a genius

not everyone is over 2000 elo but luckily the computer is in this version of chess

Very interesting chess game. The nonstandard starting positions make the game a great series of chess exercises to better your playing skills and a fun way to engage in a game that can feel too serious and/or occasionally repetitive… but it has some serious flaws. No draws is the biggest one I’ve come across so far - the AI has gotten itself in a position where it is unable to beat me, and I am now tasked with either losing anyway or giving up on the app entirely, just because the game’s too dumb to realize it cannot win. I do have the option to surrender, but it kind of kills the fun for me to be required to lose simply because I’m smarter than the AI in this position - it absolutely could pursue a victory, but it can only fathom one move in this position, which should earn me a draw. It’s not smart enough to win, so it’s my job to hold its hand a press the surrender button. I hope further updates allow the AI to, at the very least, not brick games like this.

I found a bug that when you are trying to make a move, it won’t let you move! I found this near the end of a match, if that helps. Otherwise really fun! Edit: It would not move any pieces when I’m in checkmate. pls fix it

I just started, and I feel like it’s acting like I’m Bobby Fischer. The AI is freaking cheating and knows every thing I will do. Also, it doesn’t even have an official tutorial! I get really frustrated and I constantly am wanting to delete the game. 1/5 Stars.

It’s fun until you get to level 80 or so and then you play a stacked board that’s virtually impossible to beat. After that, you might win 2 in every 20 games

There have been several situations where I’ve had to resign because the AI keeps putting my king in check, and because the game doesn’t allow for stalemates, there’s no other way for me to end the game without resigning. Otherwise, I like the way this game plays, I like the unusual set up, I like a lot about the game. And I play it daily.

The computer AI is pretty bad and though the concept is great it’s re-playability isn’t. Times when the computer should be able to put you into checkmate it can’t and the game won’t stalemate. The “imbalance” that is supposed to make the game more difficult is often too one sided. There’s no “custom rules” like a rooks only mode or something fun. All around great idea. But greatly mediocre application.

The pieces are in the wrong places and it makes it more fun

First off this game is exactly what I was looking for in a chess game. Clean, simple look with options to change easily. Fast gameplay with an undo and challenging. Secondly I never realized how important pawns are since you’re lucky to get two. Sure five queens sounds great, but them grunts hold the fort. Hard to take this game seriously which means losing is as fun as winning. When I cancel arcade this app is staying put.
