User Reviews

Overall, Chess Prime is a solid, learning-friendly chess app with strong visuals. The undo feature and move-review tools help players study mistakes, and the opening book adds depth with diverse new and classical variations. It also supports learning through features like saving/loading and showing legal moves. On the downside, ads can be distracting and, for many players, the AI is very tough at higher levels, which can be frustrating. Users seeking a polished, educational experience may love it, while ad experiences and top-tier difficulty may vary.

Pros

Undo moves to review mistakes.
Strong learning tool for beginners and players returning to chess.
High-quality graphics and smooth performance on iPad.
Opening book with diverse new and classical variations.

Cons

Ads can be distracting or intrusive.
AI can be very challenging at higher levels, frustrating for average players.

Recent reviews

Love this game, have had it for years. Recently, ads appear on the Home Screen and not just as tiny banners in-game. Not that much of a problem compared to other games inundated with ads, but it’s pretty scummy to allow those obvious scam ads that make you think something is suddenly wrong with your phone.
