This is a great app that not only teaches Chess, but important math and logic concepts, while also teaching some vocabulary. My daughter (6, started at 5) and I love it. She has learned simple arithmetic and has also begun learning multiplication. Right now, though, we’re frustrated by a glitch in the app. On the level in Antarctica where she is working on multiplication with snowballs, the app keeps freezing and not allowing her to type in the final answer (9). We’ve tried refreshing, clearing the cache, etc., but nothing works. We can’t advance in the game until we enter the number 9. Please fix this so we can keep enjoying this terrific app!

Stuck on swamp

Cannot enter “4” for the number of butterflies remaining after two fly away in the swamp level. It appears the text field does not work. A Bluetooth keyboard didn’t help. The hint button does work, but we cannot advance in the game without entering four. The keyboard does not pop up. This is running on a 5th gen iPad running iOS 13.6.1

Taught my 5 year old chess

Thanks to this game, my 5 year old son is crazy about chess. The one thing I will say is that it seems that the child has to know how to read in order to use this app. So my other son who is 4 years old found it confusing and frustrating. But the way chess is broken down and explained is super fun and gives the child a vivid sense of what chess is about.

Stuck on 9 snowballs

Great game for beginners... But we’re stuck in Antarctica at 9 snow balls as the app won’t allow us to answer the question and type in the number 9 ???? The 6 works but every time we get to type in “the number 9” the app won’t respond and won’t bring up the input field. We are using the game on iPad. Please fix ASAP!
