Good but not good= excellent!!!!

It’s just like playing normal chess with all the fun taken out😭there need to be more fun stuff k👍🏾
**edit below**

I want to apologize for this review. My daughter plays this at her school for chess team practice. Her school had too many students sign up for the team so, after two weeks of after school practice and two mini tournaments, they told us parents that in order to compete in the district competition they would have to choose only 10 students to remain on the team and cut the rest of them. They also said they would make the decision based on the tournament results AS WELL as the amount of time each student had used ChessKid to practice (at school and at home). This info was shared the day she wrote this review. And because she was not practicing enough and had to spend a nice chunk of her Sunday playing ChessKid (so she would have a better chance of staying on the team), she wrote a rude review. She willingly chose to practice that day, btw. She begged to join the team in the first place. So I know she enjoys playing ChessKid, but only when she wants to. I apologize for her nasty attitude and have changed the star count. This is an excellent app, and I’m sorry about her… 5⭐️

The “kids” app isn’t just for kids!!

I am a 41 yr-old woman who has wanted to learn chess her entire life. I would always watch others play enviously. I’ve downloaded SO many other “teaching” apps, & w/each one I felt worse & worse. I felt so stupid bc I just could not get the hang of the game…until I tried this one. This app may be geared towards children, but it does an amazing job at breaking things down in steps, then gradually immersing you in the game, so much so that you REALLY start to understand the gameplay. I thought I was doomed bc I’m terrible at math & stategy, but the coaching system gives you hints so that you truly start to get the hang of movement. I just won my FIRST EVER game & I actually screamed in triumph 😂😂😂

I ❤️this app-it’s amazing. Guess you CAN teach an old dog new tricks!!!

not tellin ya!🐘🦍🦒! sorry. ,

This is the best online chess I've ever seen! ( And the only one)

This is such a great game! When I'm driving in the car ( in the back seat I'm 9) and I want to play chess this is a perfect game to play! The only trouble I have is when you want to play against a human being it's always me against me... so I can say I want Black to win! And it will win. Or I want white to win! And it will win. That's the only thing I want fixed. Other than that THIS GAME IS AWESOME! I advise you to download this game it’s awesome I mean really if you don’t download this I’m gonna go crazy! PLEEEAAASE download this... thanks...

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐️💫 that many stars.
