User Reviews

Chess Live is praised for its challenging AI, good offline mode, and free usage. However, users frequently complain about persistent online mode problems, including constant disconnections, automatic username changes, and removal of online play. Bugs and glitches affect fair play, and intrusive ads negatively impact experience. The app's lack of updates has led to unresolved issues frustrating many players who once enjoyed it mainly for online competition.

Cons

Serious connectivity and server issues in online mode causing frequent disconnections and game freezes.
Online username changing automatically, leading to loss of player stats and frustrating user experience.
Removal of online play feature disappointing for many users who enjoyed playing against others.
Glitches and bugs allowing unfair wins, such as timing out opponents by disconnecting.
Excessive and intrusive ads, sometimes with loud volume and unsuitable content (e.g., political ads).

Recent reviews

A very good free chess app which plays some clever attacking moves...I have played this app offline since 2014...sometimes playing it against other apps using two devices... The one missing star is for the lack of the Save Game option which gives a possibility to review a played match...you may also add the Edit Board function...thanks a lot to the developers...

Initially it was an excellent game. Now very poor condition. Game runs only for 3-4 moves then automatically disconnect. Username also keep changing by itself. Please correct the fault. used to be big fan of it
