Comments on Chess Universe: Play Online for Android

★★★★★ Katrina · Oct 16, 2026
So this is just like any other chess, it's just has more effects, colored ECT, very nice touch, I still prefer the basic one, but this is a great start for anyone who wants to play chess
★★★★☆ Mark Shields · Oct 11, 2026
I love the game. Appreciate that I can see myself improving. However, there are a lot of times it feels like the AI is cheating because it will force you into a threefold repetition loss because it is about to lose... and it doesn't get penalized for doing It's own threefold repetition first. If it is a loss for me, it should be a loss for the AI. update... still the same issue in the challenges. If it knows it can't win, it will repeat the same move until you lose the challenge.
★★☆☆☆ Gaige Caward · Oct 23, 2026
If you like chess, and you're planning on honest play, this is not the game for you, for a few reasons: 1.) During tournaments, you're allowed to use hints, blocks to be able to take back bad moves, and evaluate the position. By chess rules, this is cheating. Chess Universe allows for cheating during tournaments, but not during regular games. 2.) Draws are considered wins for black during tournaments. All in all, not a good chess game. I do not recommend.
★☆☆☆☆ Greg W · Oct 28, 2026
It's fake. You're more likely to play a bot than a real person. There's a couple of hundred bots, and I can't tell you how much I hate losing a tournament because I had to play their computer pretending to be a person. The algorithm constantly pairs you with higher rated players or bots to make sure you lose a lot, so you'll pay for help. I'm guessing a lot of the 5-star reviews are fake too. Just a cash grab designed to rip you off while you think playing chess against people. Don't waste your time
