Ratings and Reviews
Pretty, nice puzzles
The sign-up requirement is a little annoying given the option to do chess puzzles. I'm a little disappointed there's no basic AI, and I thought there would be "lessons". That said, the chess puzzles are fun (they start out pretty easy). I couldn't find a way to see my progress within a level's puzzles, and it's reliably crashing on me in one puzzle when I try to promote to queen. Still seems like a nice chess app. :)
In app puzzles on iPhone X
I haven’t had time to play the in messenger game, though so far it seems lovely.
When I went to play the first puzzle today the back row is cut off by the app’s banner. If the issue can be fixed, I can’t wait to practice chess.
Playable basic game with some flaws
The game works. It has some obvious flaws which should have been fixed before releasing. If you are in check and make an illegal move, it allows you to send the move which now changes player's roles. The white player is now in control of black pieces and vice versa. You have to follow it up with another illegal move to switch back.
There's no way to disable the sound. It now plays a cheap 'piece moved' sound which stops any music or audio you're listening to. You'll have to manually start your podcast or music again after making the move.
Periodically the game comes up as a zoomed in view on the upper left corner of the board. You have to close it and open it again to fix it.
Overall, the game is playable and is what you would expect from a free game. It could be much much better if some of the minor annoyances like these were fixed.
