Chess by post Review

I haven’t played this game in a while and I’m still losing, but I know the pieces. Although, I don’t know what I’m doing but I’m getting it a little bit. Chess by post is fun and a little boring but when you play for a while, it might see quite fun. in my opinion, I say that this game is fun and good for people to do when they may or may not be really ready to do the real thing. I give a four star rate for this game but right now I’m always losing and I mean every! But I just need to know and play the game more but I think it is a pretty good game. 👩🏽

Buggy puzzle system and lots of cheaters

First off I wanna say this app is fun to play chess with others when your opponents play fairly. After which it all goes down hill.. there are a lot and I mean a lot of either bots or chess engine cheaters. I have played more then 150 different players all low rated “not my choice the computer auto picks your opponents “who are apparently super grandmasters and are in beatable even though their rating shows otherwise. I am not claiming to be perfect but I have a rating of high 2400’s and have about a 96% move accuracy in which all of my opponents always have 100%. Which is only possible with a chess engine / program. Also the puzzles are highly flawed. I have put the computer into mate so many times and it tells me I am incorrect and would rather me win a piece?? More often then not the puzzles rely on the computer making a blunder after your first move which is completely ludicrous. Please fix your puzzles and add a report button so we can start banning these cheaters..

Plan Moves and Game Analysis are awesome

I had a chess kick a year or two ago with a popular chess app. And this one is so much better because of two features

1. Plan Moves let’s you play out scenarios so you can see how a given move could play out. (You essentially pause the game and play for both players for a bit and then rewind when you’re ready to try a different move or actually make your move.) I feel like I’ve learned more about chess in my 6 games on this app than 20 on the other because I think through everything so much more clearly with this feature

2. Game Analysis uses an chess engine to analyze every move made in the game and show you how good it was by comparing it to the move that the computer would have made. Very helpful for getting new ideas based on how the computer would have handled something, and also just kind of fun to see a chart of who was in a better position at which points in the game based on which moves

Highly recommend
