I downloaded this game through the Netflix app. I love being able to play any game without ads, especially board games. My only complaint about the app is moving any piece in 3D is awkward sometimes. I have to press the square several times because it does not register (or the piece is blocking the square so I thinks I’m deselecting the piece). I could switch to 2D but that ruins immersion. I’m not even sure if there would be a better way to streamline anyway, expect maybe tap and hold would allow you to virtually pick the piece off the board so you can see all moves, and then tap the square to release

This is a very well put together game. If you are a fan of the series, it has beautiful made scenes from movie. If you are learning chess, it’s a fun way to learn with many puzzles you are tutored through from many places and characters that were in the movie. AND you can even play games with these personalities. While you play you are told move was good, poor, etc. and the types (eg skewer, fork etc). It keeps track of you wins , draws and losses. It even has an on-line module to play someone. When you play you also have choices of how much help you want. As you move along you get ‘coin’ to spend on buying scenes from series, chess sets, avatars, etc. I honestly had no idea how much was put into this product. Kudos all around!(btw, from comment about not seeing board well, you do have a choice to go 2d or 3d. And in 3d you can use your fingers to move board around and zoom in and out).

I really enjoy playing this game, but there are some flaws that seriously bug me. First of all, there is some sort of app glitch where if you come back the next day, you will be negative a few thousand coins for no reason whatsoever.Second, they don't provide enough information about why you can or cannot make a certain move. I saw that other people had mentioned this as well.Third, some of the games will require you to make moves exactly the same way that the computer is thinking, even if it has the same end result. It's very frustrating to be able to do a better job such as a mate in one rather than two. We have to go through every single scenario to do it exactly the way of computer wants you to, rather than allowing some flexibility for the end result.

I knew most of the moves of each player all my life but had no understanding of the game and it’s strategies. My 27 year old son has played chess for years but I don’t play him as I always lose. Watching “Queen’s Gambit” several times I realized that playing well takes study, practice, keen observation along with a memory for strategy. Your app is a good start for me to begin. At 77 years old, I’m really enjoying the process.Also, the graphics and building blocks for learning the game are super!
