User Reviews for Chess Premium

Very good

I played chess for 3 years , and now my level is over 1300 (and that's pretty good for a 12-year-old), I used the free version to help me learn. I didn't even know that there was another version of the game. The only difference I found was that in this version, there isn't any ads and this one is a lot slower.

Great app!

Great design for beginners! The difficulty slider works well to allow you to tailor the gameplay to your ability level. The “undo” function has been very useful; I’ve been using it to see how moves will play out and to undo total blunders to see how the game could have progressed differently.Overall, I recommend the game. The price of the premium app is also well worth paying to remove the adds.

Missed checkmate

Hello app makers/maintainers. I wish to report that the premium version of this app failed to call a winner when checkmate was reached. And instead simply state a check. I was playing as white, and the computer on the was playing as black. At the moment, it eludes eludes me how to send a screenshot to you guys. To describe it in words, and to only state the relevant pieces, imagine your eyes being focused on the lower right of the chessboard. The three pawns had never moved. And I had castled. My king was in the middle below them. The black queen made it to the bottom and should’ve check made the king but it only recognized a check. Please let me know how I can send you a picture. Then at least we can officially rule it as a glitch, or someone with more expertise then we can point out what I was missing.Thanks.

Nicely done

Most chess programs are set up so that you have to be a grand master to win. That is not true for this game. This chess program has a very good AI. It goes from very tough for the grand master in the crowd to something a beginner has a chance against. Frankly this is how one should design a chess program. It is very much worth a few dollars.

Great for beginners, but bad after

This is really good for beginners, and at the easier levels, it works fine. But once you get past that, and you need to move on, the game itself cheats. I was going in for the checkmate, and I was positive my queen was safe. Then it moved its knight as if it was a bishop, taking my queen. I didn't believe it, so I pressed undo and tried again, but it did the same thing. I tried playing on, but it started moving like the knight was a queen, except it was still jumping over pieces too. I had nice thoughts about this in the beginning, but now I'm going to delete the app.

Great chess engine, but closed

Having been a former USCF rated expert (2005 rating), I find this app to be all the challenge I need in my bucket list attempt to reach a master level. I play it on full strength with some limit to time since I can explore more plans/strategic lines this way. As expected, the tactical capabilities of this on a iPhone 6 are well beyond human, so much so that the app seems to almost play positionally. With this type of strong opposition, one can explore variations much more quickly and improve more quickly as well.However, since it can’t read PGN files, it is therefore limited in its full capability for training purposes. This is a shame, since otherwise it is a very powerful player.

Dear Optime Software LLC,

I really love the look and feel of your digital rendition of Chess. I paid for the “premium” version of your game so that I could enjoy its simplistic beauty, undistracted by ads, so I thank you that I am able to do so. This app is beautiful, timeless, and something I can see myself playing until the iPhone 25. To further improve the experience for each and every one of your customers, I have come up with a few suggestions that, if implemented, will make the experience of using this app even better than it currently is. I thank you in advance for considering the following:• “Undo” after checkmate This will allow us to further evaluate our strategies, because we’re all prone to making mistakes and, as a beginner, I may not always see that a checkmate against me is about to take place.• The ability “Save” a game to rewatch later Each chess game is a unique piece of art, so it would be great to be able to revisit one of our masterpieces! Again, I want to thank you for taking the time to read what I have shared. Best regards, Sam

Total battery and data drainer and no response to emails.

Tried to email, AGAIN, with no response. Beware before buying. I have written before four times with no response. I have made my app review known in the App Store. I will continue to do so until I get a response of why the chess app drains my iOS battery and just takes up all when I am not even connected to the Internet on my iPad. My iPad always shows 49 percent of battery usage when I play this game. If I play on my iPhone I have the same and it uses about five gigs of data in about a week. Can you tell me why this is happening. Thank you Again my fifth request.

CHECK it out!!!

Well worth it to me. It appears some of the earlier bugs were fixed. Occasionally, checkmate will occur but it will only register as check, but I think that that is do to it being a lower level (which enables the user to hit undo in order to make a change). At least, that's how I took it! Happy gaming!!! Love it.4 stars instead of five because of the lack of tutorial.

I Love It

If I could recommend anything, it would be maybe an extra color or two. Right now there's only bronze and silver looking pieces, but I think black and white pieces would be nice and simple as well. Also, whoever is bronze ends up being the person who goes first. Nothing is too big a deal, but some people I play with have preferences for the colors. The game plays well, and I use it a lot with others. The algorithim definitely keeps me on my toes.
