Really Bad Chess

I have paid for the subscription but it still makes me interrupt on watching ads videos! I see a sort of money fraud against me! Give me my money back or stop making me waste my time on watching ads! I have literally paid for not seeng ads videos during my playing!

Great idea abominably executed. Not clear if the paid version gets rid of ads. Ads are very, very poorly produced on top of being intrusive. The menu structure seems deliberately annoying.

This tame good

This game is not a bad idea, but just isn’t good. If you really want a fun chess experience that doesn’t require preparation or learning, play Fischer random, or Chess 960. That way you can adjust the difficulty of the AI opponent. This game neglects this key feature and makes the game arguably harder than normal chess. Real chess is easier to play for beginners than this because you can play opponents of similar skill levels.

As soon as I started playing, I loved it! The adds aren’t annoying at all and the gameplay is really fun! Keep up the good work Zach!

Too many ads

I like chess, I love this version of chess. It’s so fun and a lot less stressful for me than regular chess. Highly recommend trying it out.

I’m so happy to have found this app—I love playing chess, but I started to get sick of all the “book moves” and the same old openings over and over again. I always like to play with creativity and try to “wing it”, I’ve never tried to memorize any openings or strategies. Unfortunately, this has not taken me very fun in terms of online play. I really liked the concept of this app, and upon playing it I liked it even more. However, there are a few gripes that I have. Mainly: the AI. There have been many times where I have been completely stuck in a back-and-forth with the AI (usually with knights). They put me in check, and there’s only one possible move I can make to get out of it, and then they do the same move to put me in check again. The game cannot continue and I’m forced to “surrender.” Not sure if this is something that can be fixed, but I would really like to see this change in the AI in order to avoid getting into this predicament.

I didn’t download this game to get slaughtered by an AI with the capability of a grandmaster, which can take all of your pieces in the span of 10 moves

AI is both too good and really bad. The bot seems just like normal AI and not like a chess bot which doesn’t allow for realistic chess gameplay. Basic rules like draw by reputation are non existent. I’ve been stuck with only a king where I’ve been chained in a loop of repeating one legal move and the bot just repeats one calculated move instead of finding a checkmate. Plus there’s no real consideration in the way that the boards are stacked. Good concept, poor execution.
