If you are going to design a chess game, why give the surrounding graphics more prominence than the board itself? As it is, the board looks too constricted in relation to the pieces and, although, chess has very little to do with graphics, this aspect of this app is too distracting. I hope it is not the 'Unity' game engine that is getting in the way.

It's one of my favorites, but why is the board movement so loose and sensitive? It's very frustrating to get just the right angle I want. I would very much like to see the captured pieces off to the side, even in 2D rendering. Nvidia Shield tablet. Android L 5.0.

The bar doesn't move step by step preventing progressive difficulty levels. Apart this the programme is great.

EG has a state of rules, so far; Gus hasn't missed a game! He put his foot on the ground to fix my chess. 360 easy turn table to learn each move, and a list of players.

nicely made app, but feel cheated as it claims local play with Bluetooth which it doesn't have

Keep rotating on it's own.very disappointing
