Ratings and Reviews
Overall great app with some room for improvement
Lots of users so very easy to find a game somewhere in the world no matter what time it is where you are. The courses are also pretty good if you are just starting out or looking to brush up on some skills. The game reviews and daily puzzle are hit and miss - sometimes some good tricks or better moves you could have played while other times it’s pretty clear they are not telling you the right move (and the puzzles have no concept of their being multiple good ways to solve the challenge which can be annoying). Another thing that irks me a bit and would be great to see is allowing chat with a player after the game rather than the BS agro chats you get from some players during the game. When I play in person chess, it’s enjoyable to review the game with your opponent after the match and their is often much less bravado then when online players try to chat to you (typically a stupid and premature laughing emoji or ‘bye bye’ before they realize they walked into your trap) during the game, particularly on the speed games.
Developer Response ,
We appreciate your positive feedback! Thank you!
Rubbish !!!
I find constant stalling etc ...There is no accuracy in this app I wouldn’t base anyone s chess rating according to this app !!! The lag has to be fixed and I find that when you are playing a player above 1700 when you re ahead on pieces or in an extremely good position you lose on time on most occasions ...and against a say 2000 plus rated player there seems to be a huge time advantage to that player particularly in bullet chess ,Is this coincidental or is it to do with internet speed I’m not sure but I VE played for a number of years and seen enough not to take any of it seriously including the rating system....you can never beat playing over the board !!!
Developer Response ,
Hello! Players ratings evolve according to the Glicko system, and one's strength then becomes comparable to others in the player pool. If you're experiencing problems with the app or during games, please let us know more at support@chess.com. We're very glad to help. :)
Consistent Problems With Timer
Update on update - this app continues to get worse and worse every day. Their timer is so far off it is unbelievable. 8 seconds remaining on my clock 1.1 opponents (of course they don’t resign because it’s a platform full of players with no etiquette) and somehow they manage to make 8 moves and somehow my 8 seconds evaporates - it’s total nonsense. Someone invent a better app please.
This use to be a good app until they kept adding all the non chess related fluffery to try and attract more players
UPDATE - the developers replied saying that they have anti cheating measures. But whatever they are using is not working. This gets consistently worse each day. I attempted to Give another go, but it’s beyond a joke now. Work out a way to stop timer cheats and maybe you can have a decent platform again. I love playing the app when it goes right, in particular I love playing bullet chess as a time filler (really helped with quitting smoking as well) . Problem is though that either the timer is faulty on a regular occasion (games where I have 7 seconds left and opposition has 2 seconds left but someone wins on time making 20 moves in 2 seconds) or the opposition are able to Cheat the timer somehow. Either way it’s super frustrating as the game is ruined
