Annoying lagging
5 Feb
matusznik
i really like and enjoy playing chess and all of that however for these past like 2-3 days I've been experiencing really awkward freezing-like bugs. For example: I was normally playing but it tried to reconnect me 8 times only for over 10 minutes and it is really annoying. I also checked my Wi-Fi but it's ok and restarted my phone and that was also okay, nothing worked. I don't know what is this bug/glitch, however I hope it'll be fixed soon because I really do enjoy playing this game. Thanks!

Stupid game, i move my pawn 2 steps forward as a first move of that specific pawn and game will show that it moves 2 But oponent will take my pawn as if it moved just one, Thats stupid

Developer Response
This relates to a special move called "en passant". It can be very surprising the first time you see it. For more on this unique rule of chess, please take a look at this article: www.chess.com/terms/en-passant

Connection problems since the last update

I really enjoy using this application so I would give five stars but since the latest update the app is freezing and when I start the game it’s saying it’s connecting and then when I connect finally, 20 second past and the other player already played move. Also, it would be nice to work on the user experience because trying to work through the different menus it sometimes awkward.

didn’t play in any of them

I play every day in the evening. Sometimes I have to wait too long for the system to find a random player. Last weekend, the system couldn’t find any players for me. I tried to start a game three times, but no players joined.Today, when I logged into my account, I saw that I had three games recorded — but I didn’t play in any of them. I didn’t make any moves, and I lost all of them. As a result, my rating has changed, which is really disappointing.
