User Reviews

Players praise Chess for its engaging puzzle modes, readable 2D board, and broad features including puzzles, multiplayer, and a free usage model. The game also markets educational and mental benefits, with many noting it keeps the brain active and offers family-friendly play. However, reviewers frequently complain about puzzle quality and progress blockers (illegal puzzle setups, paid hints), frustrating AI behavior (stalemates and repeated draws), and a clunky UI with limited learning resources. Overall it’s highly enjoyable and educational, but improvements in puzzle fairness, AI behavior, and onboarding are desired.

Pros

Puzzle mode helps learning and daily practice.
Easy-to-read 2D board with realistic-looking pieces.
Broad feature set including puzzles, multiplayer, and multiple difficulty levels.
Mental and educational benefits; keeps the brain active and is family-friendly.
Free to use and widely accessible.

Cons

Puzzle quality issues: some puzzles are illegitimately positioned or unsolvable without hints, and hints may require payment.
The AI can stalemate when about to lose and may repeat moves to force draws.
Clunky navigation and a lackluster Home Screen makes finding features difficult.
Limited learning resources: no instructional videos and few explanations of rules like castling.
Inconsistent puzzle difficulty and progression, with some levels too easy or too hard.
