Only reason I didn't do 5 star is bc of how there are ads every game. And to get 5 undos/take backs, cost another ad. fun game to occasionally play as a variant

Great game. On the weekly challenge, I get a check, mate, but it doesn't resolve. It just stays on their turn, the only option is to surrender, but it doesn't show a win as it should. Lot of fun though, hopefully online multiplayer on day!

Incredibly fun mental flexibility challenge if you play chess regularly or a great way to learn a new game. Love some noodle cake!

Extremely fun game. But I accidentally discovered a bug... and I abused it xD until it got fixed? After I updated the game, now my rank is at 141. And the enemy bot has 6 queens and all pieces (no pawns at all) at the start and I have 3 knights, 3 bishops and all pawns... Please send help...

Recently redownloaded this, but it's really buggy Very often, I can't see the opponent's moves or make another move of my own until I quit to the menu and then reopen the match.

The only reason it couldn't possibly be named HORRIBLE CHESS.... plans for a sequel! If you're already BAD at chess, don't worry! This game is here to confuse you and decrease your understanding of how to play!

Fun game but it's flawed. You will be put into check and sometimes the game considers it checkmates despite you having available blockers. It's happened more than once to me but it isn't super often to be fair.

Used to be really great but recent updates have been so confusing. They made the game logo an ugly blue. They removed the victory/defeat screen after a game for whatever reason so now the game just "freezes" weirdly after a game ends. They made the AI way too strong and smart when it's ahead and way too dumb when it's behind. Also, completely disabled the option to get undos unless you pay for them now - before you could watch ads for 5. No idea why they decided to go back and destroy this game
