Amazing super fun game but i do have a complaint

This is such a great game and is so fun and so easy to learn but there is one thing. When you play with the robot the robot makes his moves to quick so it’s kind of hard that way. But other than that this is such a good game and it’s so fun and even today me and my brother played it and it was my first time and after i played two rounds i emedietly downloaded it so it’s a great game and it’s so fun and but also i think they should give limited hints beacause you could cheat if you did the hints the whole round thank you for reading this review this is such a great game and i would recommend it thank you #stayhome

Question to Tech support

Occasionally I get into a scenario when playing against the computer. The computer prevents me from making a different move, by repeatedly making the same move, over and over and over, into infinity! This usually happens as I am about to get the upper hand in the game. The computer has alternative moves available, but gets stuck on repeat! I'm either forced to make an inferior move that the computer likes, putting me at a disadvantage, or start another game. Is this legal? Is there a maximum number of times that a identical move can be made by both players? Please explain this phenomenon, or fix it!Problem 2, this App constantly trying to sell me Checkers. Please stop this. I don't want to purchase Checkers!

Idiotic computer in this game

Chess is a great game but has rules. This ridiculous computer on this specific game fails to comprehend that the same move repeated three times is stalemate. This stupid game played the same move 100 times continuing to put me in check because mate for it was imminent. Not an intelligent chess computer. It also continued the game when only kings remained on the board.It’s time to retool the computer’s thinking or get out of the chess biz.There are more issues than this, these two are just glaring deficiencies that make this game maddening.

Great app, few fixes

I’m fairly new to chess and I find even on bar up from easy it’s extremely difficult. It’s a skill issue on my part :) but I recommend other apps to learn rather than this one. Another thing I’ve observed was that the game plays odd when checkmate is imminent. It’ll declare a stalemate even when other pieces are able to move. but will continue the game if it’s possible to checkmate you. Example: I was two moves from achieving Smothers Mate, and it had two Pawns and one Rook moving the rook forward would’ve created a path to run forward but instead moved one of its pawns forward essentially blocking himself in on purpose? Never seen a computer do that so I moved Queen to top row and and in one move it would’ve been a checkmate but instead just randomly declared a stalemate. That shocked me until I figured it out it blocked himself in on purpose to declare a stalemate. Some cheap tactics 💀💀💀

Quiz is no logically accurate

In almost any case scenario presented by the quiz mode, check can be done upon the player’s king. For that matter, it is not possible to logically win in a two move strategy. If I do a first move, computer can check my king. Then, I have to bring my king to safety, and lose my two move chance. Secondly, To win in a two move sequence, I have to guess accurately. what is the next move the computer will do? This is often enough a random move. That means I have a random, and not a logical chance to win. Accuracy is premium when playing chess. Quizzes do not present an accurate scenario to win in a two move strategy. The app also charge money to give you fixed clues. It is a scam.

My Favorite! AI is weak!

Love playing this Chess AI; it does so much for my ego! Haha In my prime I was a little over 1800 rating, but now I’m about 1600 because I don’t play and study every day like I did 20 years ago…still I play this on the hardest level and I consistently beat the AI! :) Just played an Italian opening and castled on my 4th move to give the AI a chance, and still won in 10 moves, my shortest game so far against the AI…. Please don’t change it; I’m enjoying my ego boost… :)1. e4 e52. Nf5 Nc63. Bc4 Bc54. O-O Ne75. d3 f6?6. Ng5!? fxg5?!7. Bxg5 h58. Qf3 d6??9. Qf7+ Kd710. Be6++Easy win in less than 2min…Though I find the Ruy Lopez opening easier to beat the AI than the Italian opening…if you want a tough AI, like Shredder, but I play this one most often because I can play a quick casual game and don’t have to think to much to beat it.

Love this game

I have always had a weird interest in chess, I was taught how to play very young. I love books/movies/shows about chess but rarely read or watch them. So every 2 or so years I remember how much I love it. This time, what reminded me was reading The Queens Gambit (highly recommend by the way). But I didn’t have my chess board and not many people who would play with me so I downloaded this game and love it. It’s also a way to play discretely because everyone thinks it’s weird for a 14 y/o girl to like chess so much because it is for Russian guys w glasses and man buns.

The App refuses to loose gracefully

The App chooses its moves based on the probability of success. If it determines that it can not win, the App will attempt to put you in a revolving door of “check” positions or move for a stalemate. I can understand the stalemate as in a tournament, a stalemate at least allows for each player to receive a point. At least in the tournaments I have played in. However, having the App move it’s pieces continuously back and forth without being able to win, is pointless. It just makes the game go on and on unending. I’m not Mathew Broderick and this isn’t a game of Global ThermoNuclear War. There shouldn’t be a no win situation or at least a no stalemate situation. The App needs to be programmed to lose as much as it is programmed to win. If the pieces the App has to use can not put the player into checkmate, the App should not be able to continually put the player into “check” basically forcing a new game to be started.

Kaizen your chess skills for novice players only

The program is OK if you are a novice needing practice. However, it is extremely weak in the end game, lacks variability with openings, and could cause you to be over confident. I win about 70 %. I am a novice. Also, when you have a king and night or king and bishop end game there is not any way to draw, or in some cases resign. I enjoy using the program, but it does need some software work. Thank you for this opportunity to provide a review. Bob from Clearwater, FL.

This game cheats during stalemates

Update:It just did it again! It had the upper hand and I had 4 back and forth moves (8 total moves) with no stalemate. Then I was able to corner 2 of its 4 remaining pieces, corner it’s king in the corner and it tried to block with its last remaining rook. I took the rook and it immediately declared a stalemate! There were NO repetitive moves during the last 40 moves of the game and I was ONE MOVE from forcing Checkmate with its only remaining piece, it’s king. This game cheats!If this game has me on the run and there’s only a few pieces left, I have actually made over FIFTY back and forth moves and it NEVER calls or allows for a stalemate to be declared. However, if I have the computer on the run, if the computer is down to 1 or 2 pieces left, after just a few moves, sometimes 3 TOTAL moves (mine and the computer totaled) in any direction, it declares a stalemate. Those moves normally aren’t repetitive moves like a real stalemate should be. On numerous occasions, I’ve had the upper hand and have been moving to box in or row compress the computer’s king into checkmate when the computer calls a stalemate even though there have been zero repetitive movements. (This has been happening with the difficulty setting at normal.)In other words, this game cheats when it’s losing. The developer of this app needs to fix this issue.
