For the price, the developer has done excellent job!!! Having said that, here are a few things that I want (not demanding). Configurable UI. I don't need to see big "Chess" text on top. (I know that I am playing chess..) I want more menu buttons (I always get computer's help and I have to press two buttons for that!) I don't want my captured pieces covered with text during the game or after the game for analysis. When I review the game, those steps buttons are on the left, I want to move right.

I love the app, but it would be great if the online multi-player had some kind of maximum time limit between moves. I'm currently in an active game where the opponent could tell he was losing, so he just paused the game and left. I have check mate in 1, but he hasn't made a move in over 12 hours so I can't play it and win. Clearly he's hoping that I'll abandon the game and his loss won't be recorded. Instead I guess I'll just leave it on pause forever, hoping he comes back.

Good app, but not for the casual player. If you're an average chess player just looking for an app to kill time and play a casual/untimed game against a CPU, this ain't it chief... There are 12 computer levels and maybe the first 3 (maybe 4) are winnable for the average player. That means you're gonna get dunked on by 80% of the game. Just rotating between 3 levels gets boring and the skill gap (to me) increases too much with increasing levels.

We're sorry that this app didn't match your expectations. Have you tried Tutor to help bridge the difficulty gap and aid learning at the next level? You can turn this on in Options to help every turn, or use it as you choose from Menu, to suggest a good piece to move and let you assess move. Hint (? on Menu) will show the complete suggested move.
