Finally! A chess game with a BUY option, ads are such a nuisance. This is a great looking board, large size for easy viewing and maneuvering, fully rotating cam so that you never have a problem grabbing the piece you wish to move, and the best part of all is the beautiful music which promotes concentration and compliments this polished app, making it even more special and unique. The AI is as fair as any other I have tried, perfectly good, sharing the same issue as they all seem to have about games ending too soon in draws... maybe it’s a limitation of the AI tech... anyway, it means I just have to get better! I tried about 20 before I settled in this as the best, thank for making such a great app :))PS - for people reading concerned about the King’s movement as mentioned in the first review, there is no problem! The AI restricts the move if the King would be endanger again by another piece by making that move. In RL chess, it is also against the rules to move the King into a bad position. You may be able to physically move the King the direction you wish but if you’re moving him from check back into check, you have more practice to do! Also, there is (now) an option to turn off that feature [SHOW LEGAL MOVES] if you wish to play without the AI training. It’s helpful to learn and to prevent premature forfeit of the game, and easy to turn off if you wish be reckless at daring, depending on one’s confidence level.

This is an awesome chess game and does a great job simulating an actual chess match in 3D. It allows you to rotate your view in all directions and has lots of options for customizing the board and pieces as well as the gameplay. There is even a calming soundtrack that you can turn on, if you want to feel more relaxed while you beat your competitor into submission (or get beaten as I often do). There are options to pass and play or you can play the computer. Some reviewers have said the ‘normal’ cpu setting is too difficult, however, I don’t find that to be true. I am an average player at best and I can usually beat the computer on normal, although it is challenging (which I think is kind of the point?). I blunder a lot, so I’m glad it has an undo button and I think of that as a kind of training wheel to help me learn the pitfalls of my mistakes. Also, you CAN play as white or black against the cpu, just tap the knight icon under your avatar when starting a new game to switch sides. I also found the training module to be helpful when trying to understand the special moves in the game such as castling, etc.. The ads in the free version are minimal, but I would recommend getting the paid version if you play a lot and want to support the game. Well deserving of 5 stars.

This game is so amazing, it helps you with actual chess with the board game. It tells you if you move that piece it will put your king in danger or check. I was searching for a chess game for hours to help me with the actual board game but then I found this. This is the best chess game I’ve played. It’s also very addictive and helpful to me. I would like to show this game to my friends because some of them play chess and might need a bit of help. You can play with an npc or you can play with a friend or family member. I find this game very helpful. I thank the makers of this game of making these wonderful games for people to play, and there’s actually not so many ads so I find this game perfect for me. I would want more people to enjoy and like this game as much as I do. It’s very addictive and I’ve played on it for hours. I recommend this game for everyone to enjoy 😊. Oh, and thank you again for making this wonderful game! 🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍😁😁😁😄😄😄😄😄😄😁😁😁

I like this app a lot because I like playing over the board and having the pieces in 3D helps me see tactical patterns and positional motifs much better. There is also an option to make it 2D too for anyone who wants to play in 2D. The computer goes up in levels pretty well. As a competitive chess player, the Normal is what I would expect normal person just starting to understand the fun of the game to be, and the Medium is what I was a few months ago. I haven’t tried the Hard yet, so maybe I will update this review in the future. The aesthetics of this game’s UIUX is so sleek. I want to give their creative team a big commendation.Why do I take away a star? Because the one thing this app doesn’t have is the ability to record the moves of the game. I’m not asking for a computer review of all best moves, I just want a record in PGN or algebraic notation replay of what was played. That would make this the perfect chess app. There are other apps for lessons, so I like that this app is catering to people who want to play a nice game with either a cpu or human. Just please add the ability to look at the moves once the game finishes and I will recommend this app to every chess player.
