## Description

Chess Multiplayer lets you play chess against the computer, with a friend on one device, or online against players worldwide. It offers three game modes: single-player against the computer, local multiplayer, and online multiplayer with players from around the world.

In online mode you earn points for wins, the stronger the opponent, the more points you gain, and your total points push you up the rankings. You can chat with your opponent, invite friends, and see the opponent's country.

## Review summary

Users praise Chess Multiplayer for its global player base, visible pieces, and the mix of single-player and multiplayer modes, plus a social chat. However, recurring issues drag it down: frequent freezes and crashes, nonstandard draw rules, weak matchmaking, poor handling of abandoned games, and ads that hinder navigation. These reliability and rule-strategy problems are the most mentioned drawbacks, while the app remains appealing for those seeking varied play and community interaction.

### Pros

- Global multiplayer with a built-in chat that lets you play against players from around the world.
- Clear, easy-to-see chess pieces and UI.
- Includes both single-player (CPU) and multiplayer modes for varied play.
- Overall fun and engaging experience with a social aspect (chat).

### Cons

- Frequent freezes/crashes and disconnects that can cost a game or cause frustration.
- Draw rules do not follow standard chess (draws when only kings and pawns; no threefold repetition or draw agreement feature).
- Poor or unfair matchmaking, with players of vastly different skill levels appearing in the same games.
- Abandonment/timeouts not reliably handled, leading to unfair losses or long waits for outcomes.
- Intrusive ads interfere with navigation and gameplay.
