User Reviews for Pocket Chess
Great game for short or long sessions
I love getting stuck on a level and coming back to it the next day and figuring it out in seconds. One suggestion: after completing a level, I’d like a way to recap the moves to see how it worked. Sometimes I’ll solve one accidentally or not see why it could have been stopped if I did it another way. Otherwise, it’s a great time sink, and I’m getting better at endgame!
Fun little brain exercise
Honestly just a lil fun exercise for chess moves and a good start to the day. Start small in the morning to get your brain thinkin’, then do some more arduous things after. Also helps for end game plays in chess instead of constantly chasing around a king or missing all your opportunities.Only problem is once I rated the game, ads started to pop up after every one or two games which got a bit annoying. Play on airplane mode if possible.
Pocket Chess
1. The ads were like being in jail. So IPaid $4.95. Within two minutes I realized I had already paid this amount a while back so now I paid twice. 2. In App Store, top left said mate in two. It’s a mate in one. I wasted time trying to figure out format knowing there was an error, but what was it????Then I gave up- do I loaded app- ad ad ad adSo I paid, again now paid twice plus wasted time. I whizzed through first 60 ish puzzles then wrote this if they refund double payment and fix top left to be mate in one, saving others from assuming the format is simple. I’ll change rating to 5-star but even $5 feels real when it doubles. To $10 because of a bug. First $5 paid over a year ago.
Good game
Don’t get me wrong it was fun for about 25-30 levels. Pros good graphics, good difficulty (at first) and different from most. But the cons!! So many ads it’s ridiculous. once you get past level 30 it’s like there trying to find grand masters because they start to base the levels off of you need to get a hint, that’s leads into watch ads being 75 coins yet the hint is 100 coins. Then even if you watch the ads the hint it only tells you what peace to move not what move to do. I get it needs to be challenging but it took maybe 15 minutes to get there and I got stuck. If your looking for a quick game to play because your bored just move on to the next game but if your a great player and I mean great player at chest give this game a try because I believe it will stump even grand masters.
Fun and challenging
It’s fun and challenging and a bit counterintuitive at times because your opponent moves not to win but to prevent you from winning— the response sometimes makes no sense apart from preventing checkmate in two moves. Some rounds seem utterly impossible and it’s frustrating to know that you can get a checkmate in only two moves but it’s still very hard to see the path to get there. This is a great way to hone your game and learn to play outside the box.
The better puzzle game
I’ve always wanted to get good at chess. Since I was a kid, I’ve worked through chess books and used programs/apps, but I know I’m not good. I saw an ad for pocket chess and dumped other puzzle games I was wasting time on. I never could consistently work through chess puzzle books, but I play pocket chess obsessively every day. I’m not certain it’s working—surely it’s improved my endgame. At least at the beginning, I felt my neurons rewiring, like a video game with novel controls. Now that I’ve gotten 3 times through the basic 1010 and 13 events down, the puzzles come easier. I’m definitely better at thinking in chess. I just wish it could help with my middle game.
Great distraction !!
I have enjoyed this app!! If you like chess, I think you will like this. Once you get to the mate in 3 or 4 scenarios makes it very interesting/challenging. If you think the idea of mental energy is not relevant it would be interesting to get an average time the scenarios are solved at different times of the day. In the morning, I feel that I solve problems faster than late afternoon or the evening. Feedback would be awesome. Anyway, love the app!!Eric S
Chess is the perfect puzzle game all along
I never realized it before, but chess is the ultimate puzzle. This game takes all kinds of possible game-winning chess moves and turns them flawlessly into individual puzzles that can be solved simply in a minute, all the way up to complex layouts that take ages to consider. Chess masters may find this game trivial, or they may find it a great way to practice their skills. Also, there are like hundreds of levels - enough to never get bored!
A freemium app in premium apps clothing
Seemed like a chess tactics app with good graphics and a nice interface. I was happy to pay $5 to get rid of ads, only to realize that the entire game basically runs on a hint system that either costs you more money or… makes you watch ads. You have to complete each puzzle before going to the next one, so if you’re stuck at all, it’s ad time again.There’s day-specific puzzles and multi-puzzle time-based “events” but those usually only give you more hint currency if you get to the very end, and since solutions to those cannot easily be found online as they can for the standard levels (at least the earlier ones), you’re stuck without answers or compensation unless you can solve everything, or pay for hints. Ultimately, chess should be about learning. It’s fun when it’s turned into mini games like this but it’s annoying when progress and knowledge is locked behind micro-transactions. Given how many similar (but better) apps there are right now, there’s basically no justification for this apps popularity or high rating. I guess a polished aesthetic counts for a lot to people. My recommended alternative is Chess Tactics Pro, but there’s many other options.
Great Design Gameplay and Ad Frequency
The game is appropriately challenging while simultaneously building on itself/the tactics established in previous levels. I appreciate that the game gives enough “hint coins” that you can earn through play to use while also giving the optional ad view - coin exchange system. With ads infrequent enough to not feel bogged down but understandably common - every 3rd to 4th level completion. - I’ve now completed all 1010 levels and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience
