Ratings and Reviews
Training
I have a problem with puzzles, after some time there are about 50 puzzles that I ma continously solving without any gains or losses. They are still the same. Very fruistraiting Bug. But this The only problem I have with The app, great job.
Great app
It’s the best aplication to play chess, but you should think about temporary bans for players leaving lost game without giving up.
It’s waste of time for winners. People who cant lose shouldn’t play this amazing game
A good way to learn more about chess
I'm happy with how the app works also I have a question will there be vision training added to the mobile app?
