★☆☆☆☆ amit mondal · Jun 29, 2017

Too easy. Only mate in 1? Why not mixing up mate in 1, 2 and 3?

★★☆☆☆ Neftali Pineiro · Feb 21, 2016

Don't know how to play chess with two queens on one side. And this did not happen once. I figured it out the first time it happened, but the second time I couldn't. And not until I succeed in solving this oddity, will the game allow me to go on to the next problem. Uninstalling

★☆☆☆☆ Neyo Napster · Oct 27, 2015

Incorrect solutions in case of multiple mate opportunities No sequences or number for the puzzles.
