Update: the constant interruption of telling me I've made a mistake is jarring enough that I can't play this game, anymore. Especially considering that I ignored the offer to take back a move and was able to capture the Queen. Great concept! There needs to be a level-related reward for getting to each level, like a new board or a new set of pieces. At the very least some aesthetic theme related to the levels as they are on the map. Keep up the good work!

I'm giving it 3 stars because although it's a pretty good app for chess, runs smoothly and you can play offline as well, and by the looks of it, it has hundreds if not thousands of puzzles and games to play while playing through the puzzle section. Where it falls short 2 stars is alot of the puzzles are mostly just full on chess games either starting from the beginning, middle game or end game. Basically they aren't really puzzles at all, just normal chess matches.

Needs career mode with some 120+ different players with personalities. There could also be 64 tiered tournaments with a grand slam and year end championship mode (those being the hardest events to play). Each tournament has seedings [your best playing event(s) for each draw] and rankings (your best 25 results in the career). A chess winter and summer olympics every 4 years would be nice (remember that the Summer Olympics come first and the Winter comes two years later or vice versa). Thank you.

I like the game but it has many flaws I find would make the game fair. For instance, many times the game stalemates when clearly the game would've been won and top of that you loose a heart for it. Many of the opening suggestion algorithms make quite silly moves where even when made the game tells YOU you made a mistake when the suggestions would've been otherwise best moves (quite unfair I would say.) I enjoy the learning and game play but clearly there's a lot of emphasis on in game purchases which make it playing not so palatable. I've played/invested enough to validate that which I said in this review.

Was very good in the beginning. Made a move and the computer has not responded at all. It seems to be stuck in "thought mode"! Used a take back move helper to try the same move again yet same result! Would give a higher rating if this didn't keep happening! Count down timer for lives is way off! Takes hours for a single life to regenerate while it is supposed to one every 30 mins!!! So busted, plz fix....

Interesting twist on chess but does not train or improve game as per some claims. Sets scenarios and asks you to perform "best move". This is subjective. I suppose if you want to play like an algorithm then it is good. otherwise it tells you that your move is good or bad without explanation of why. not good for beginners or if you want to improve because no explanation of strategy is given so you are left to figure it out by yourself. Better to play a proper game of chess or watch YouTube videos.
