Question about castling
12/01/2020
Phkalen
Aren’t you allowed to castle if the rook passes through an attacked square? The game doesn’t let you do that :P Also, the lower levels of the computer are either way too good or they play the best moves consistently and then randomly blunderGood app though ;)

Developer Response
Thanks for your response. We'll consider giving a random move when computer's strength has been set to the small value.For the castling problem, maybe the king is in check.

Not perfect, but still a great app

After the latest update, the app is even more friendly to beginners (like me).There are still minor bugs, for instance the pop-up at the top of the screen after you won the game seem to be wrong. The pop-up will tell me the computer won when it’s me who actually won.(btw, the language I used was Chinese.)I’d still recommend this app though.
