I don't like it. Even a game where my opponent had a bishop. I had three pawns. It declared a win for my opponent. A bishop cannot mate. It had to be draw because I had insufficient time. It has now happened 4 times. You better work on such things. Perhaps the developers don't know chess. Put professional players on your team.

Since more than 2 years, this application and the other one chessbase stopped working. Recently you fixed chessbase. Why you do not try to fix this one also?

Sometimes the rating doesn't work. Really annoying!

Okay app, but it refuses to take moves sometimes while your clock just keeps ticking. And yes, I am talking about legal moves. Sometimes I input the move 8 times before the app finally takes it. Frustrating
