User Reviews

Users praise the app for a fun, solid chess experience with a worldwide player base and a nice interface. However, frequent disconnects, cheating, missing social/multiplayer features, questionable rating mechanics, and intrusive ads are the most recurring negatives across reviews.
Pros
  • Fun, solid core chess gameplay that many users describe as fabulous or fantastic.
  • Global matchmaking with players around the world; users enjoy playing against others worldwide.
  • Nice interface and visuals/graphics that many users compliment.
  • Good for teaching kids and exposing younger players to chess concepts.
Cons
  • Frequent disconnections and server issues that result in lost games and unfair outcomes.
  • Cheating and engine-assisted play are common complaints, with many users calling for better cheater reporting and enforcement.
  • Lack of built-in social features like a friends list or in-app chat; users want multiplayer with friends.
  • Rating system inconsistencies and unfair point adjustments (e.g., wins by opponent leaving, broken streaks).
  • Intrusive ads and audio interruptions during games (ads and sound issues).

very fabulous and fantastic game regardless of cheaters when we about to win and all of a sudden we have been disconnected. But since 2022 I had been playing well and it’s amazing. I just wish we can add friends and able to chat, even inside the app, if request is accepted then thus we can connect to all over the world. Gracias
