Positive review Time control question by anonym
Is it possible to use the time controls to play against another human player. I cant see how...if its possible at all. Kinda useless to have a time control while playing a computer. 4/5

Negative review Software bug by anonym
After moving my pawn two places forward.. The opposite pawn would strike my pawn as if it's one place behind 1/5
Neutral review Plays very well. by anonym
Very good chess engine, complete with tournament chess clock. What a pity that the clock cannot be used when using the app as a 'magnetic chess board' to play against friends. 3/5
Negative review The computer cheats by anonym
I don't care if there are "extra special moves" like castleing that only the computer can do. The king should only be able to move one space. 1/5
Positive review by anonym
Super good no problems.. It's just that there's no levels this game is challenging one way 5/5
Positive review Question by anonym
If you have a Syzygy data base how do you get it to recognize it I have 3-4-5 set 4/5

Positive review Xperia Z Ultra by anonym
Amazing app...Using Komodo 9.1 and Stockfish 6 5/5
Negative review Cheats and does not accept my move and does not allow me to swap when I am playing. Also when you give a check it does not move the king but eats my piece. by anonym
Absolutely rubbish and ridiculous 1/5
Positive review by anonym
I have played and won many levels in other apps...but here even at basic level till I haven't won any match .I'm trying from 1 month to win a single match...finally this app made me to realise how week I'm in chess.. 5/5
Negative review Wrong way to win against me by anonym
I white and them black they moved to a square passed a white horse. Now the game stopped. What's why there's 1 star. 1/5
Negative review Uninstalling by anonym
Where is the 2 player option? I just want an electronic board, not a game with a CPU. 1/5
Positive review by anonym
Nice and simple, exactly what I was.looking for. Thank you very much! Edit - fantastic email support. Highly recommend ad free app! 5/5
Neutral review Very difficult by anonym
I've been playing for 40 days and haven't won a single game. So pretty good app. Only wish I knew how to castle and how to lower the difficulty 3/5
Positive review Tint and fast by anonym
I like it because the file size is under 1 megabyte. Actually less than 600 kilobytes period. Must be a talented developer 5/5
Positive review Mr Miyagi by anonym
Best tutor and sparring partner I can imagine. It's a chess robot that makes you better. Great tools for understanding. 5/5
Positive review No cheating by anonym
Castling is available to all players, en passant is available to all players, and when you're in check you're allowed to kill the piece if possible instead of moving a king. It's a great game for on the go, but it's no Chessmaster so if you're a complete beginner then you're probably going to be rather frustrated. For that I'd recommend something like "Chess For Kids" as that's much more beginner friendly. If you know all the moves though and want to practice on the go in a program that supports UCI, while being able to export games as PGN to load into Fritz later, this is perfect. 5/5
Neutral review Parvagilla, better ones are available in store by anonym
Chennagide aadre tumba ishta aago tara illa. The game is simple and good but no much display options and customization. Also I don't understand why u ppl need the storage permissions. It would have been 4 stars if there were less permissions or no permissions. 3/5
Positive review Very good. by anonym
Many thanks for great game. 5/5
Negative review Its useless by anonym
Such a hopeless app....it doesnt allow us to play...it works on its rule...waste... 1/5
Positive review Chess by anonym
You need to check the rules about castelling. I believe you cannot castle after being in check or cannot use that move to get out of check. Yo also cannot castle across an attacked square 4/5
Positive review Chess... by anonym
The age old game is very intriguing and takes too much time,even a meal is skipped. 5/5
Neutral review Confusing by anonym
Maybe I've forgotten the rules of Chess, but it seems like the CPU can do moves I can't. I can't castle, I can't remove a piece with the King. For example the game will say checkmate and all I would have to do is have the King take the piece right next to the King to get out of it. Yet, if I have a piece next to the CPU king it takes all of mine. I've played other chess games and those let me take pieces next to the King. Plus, for me, Level 1 is hard. : / 3/5
Positive review by anonym

Neutral review Great game by anonym
It was a great game tell google screwed up an did not put the menu button in there new os. so the app is useless. 3/5
Positive review Superb by anonym
Excellent engine, not like the rubbish ones you often get with computers, a few things which could be better but that is being picky, and to top it off it's free and doesn't invade privacy! One thing to note though, it's not for complete novices unless you enjoy getting thrashed. I am a fairly good player and meet my match at lvl5/9 5/5
Positive review Good by anonym
You can hate on the graphics and simplicity all you want. But you can't take away the fact that it's like the best chess engine here. It's chess... Not fifa! Why should you even care how it looks. #dopest engine 5/5
Negative review REALLY POOR by anonym
You on your own with this one - no menu or settings buttons etc. Needs serious revamp! Doesnt have the features as advertised. They put this crap out there to see how it will go. Obviously they dont understand if its uninstalled thats it! Nobody will come back to this! Not worth it now! 1/5
