Ratings and Reviews
Beginner level programming error?
Even an absolute beginner should be able to beat the weakest “Fool” level, which is programmed to capture opponents pieces automatically, without any consideration to the consequences. You’d think that the next level up (“Beginner”) would be a walk in the park, but you’d be wrong. In my experience, this is a very tough and awkward level, and I would argue that it’s much stronger than at least the next level up (“Rookie”), and quite possibly stronger than the “Novice” level (the 4th weakest level) too. Also, if I’m losing a game when using this app, it would be nice to have an option to resign, just like you’d be able to in a real-life chess game. If I were coming to this app completely fresh, and already knowing what I know now, I’d be tempted to skip the so-called “Beginner” level and maybe return to it later when I’ve mastered at least the “Rookie” and “Novice” levels. For this reason, and the fact that you can’t resign a game, this app loses a star.
Pawn poor
Most of the gameplay is very good. However, in the end game stages when pawns are in play, taking of pawns is not correct. Pawns are taken by the game when on adjacent squares rather than on diagonals.
Great app
Literal tens of thousands of chess puzzles included in the app and are very fun to solve
