Chess - Offline Board Game Reviews

by Job_ee

This game doesn’t know what a draw is. According to the game, a draw means the king has to move to an inconvenient spot. Not a suicide spot that would immediately result in a win for me, but a move that would trap the king.

This was the set up: white king G4, white queen E6, black pawn F6, Black King G6. I was white in this match. Black moved back and forth from G6 to G7 while my queen moved from E6 to F5. White queen on F5, Black king on G6 could have also moved to H6 as well as what he’s been doing, G7. While queen is on G6 and black king is on G7, black king instead of moving forward to G6 could also move to F8 or H8, both of which are inconvenient, but not a checkmate.

It has also counted a draw as not wanting to make an attack move. Situation, both sides have a set up, no one has lost any pieces. I move a non important for the moment piece back and forth and the computer, not wanting to make the first move on me, does likewise until it declares a draw. That’s not a draw. It’s the computer’s fault that it let me have a great defensive set up to begin with.

A draw is when the king has no choice but to move into a space that would get himself killed, not moving into an inconvenient spot on the map. Please change this. On my third “draw” in a row.

This game has this annoying issue where there is a 50 move limit per game! How absurd is that! After it prematurely ended 3 games that were perfectly winnable I uninstalled it. The game is not a draw until it is a draw! It doesn't matter how many moves there has been! Other than that it was a great game. Please fix this. I would suggest offering a draw button that is usable after 50 moves instead of just ending the game. It’s honestly infuriating!

On many occasions l have moved a pawn forward to block or capture an opposing piece only to have an opposing pawn capture my pawn that it was in no position to capture. It has cost me many hard fought games and advancements. 😡 fix this. I can’t find another game with this simple set up that I like. I don’t like this app games that are overly flashy, and this game is just basic straightforward this app without a lot of spinning boards and fancy graphics. I liked that part very much.

I’ve played on multiple difficulties and have not been allowed to win due to the games stalemate settings which you cannot disable. After methodically removing all of the computers pieces and then going for the king the game will stop and say it’s a stalemate even tho I clearly will win within the next few moves. It’s very frustrating to play an entire game and finally have the win within reach to then be robbed at the last few moves due to this stalemate setting. I’ve played several games like this and still haven’t had a “win” only “draws” under the games statistics.

I paid to have the ads removed. I’ve played it since, and after “supposedly having them removed” an ad showed up. Also, it makes me watch it for some kind of reward. That’s it’s claim. I don’t care about a reward. I paid to see no ads - zero ads! I just wanted to play the game with out the aggravation of constant advertisement. What makes it worse is the ad is a game I already downloaded and deleted; because, I disliked playing it! I’ve been robbed. You’ve taken my money, and did not give me what I payed for! It clearly said, remove ads!” This isn’t my first time paying for no ads in a game; however, it is the first time of not receiving what I payed for.

I’ve been using the this app Club app for a bit now, and while I was excited about it at first, my experience has been pretty disappointing.

I haven’t tried the live game mode yet, so I can’t speak to that. But playing against the computer has been a letdown. The AI is really dumb—it makes some pretty bad moves. And just when you’re about to win, the computer ends the game and calls it a draw, which feels super unfair. It’s like it’s trying to avoid losing.

Overall, this app Club could be a great app, but the weak computer opponent and the misleading ad-free purchase make it frustrating to use. I hope the developers fix these issues soon.

by Milliworth Blessed

Since the last update our (hundreds) devices are getting HOT when in game and using a hint more than once with the ads. I haven’t seen any response to these issues! Maybe no one’s monitoring this game ! Just in it for the MONEY! We’ll see a response or we will delete game and find another more worth at least 1 star!

by Attempted Navigon User

Got this because i wanted to try the puzzles which are included. I’m not a particularly good this app player, but the first few were so easy it was ridiculous. Tried to skip to a higher level, but it makes you complete the previous puzzles first. So I’ve now played a few hundred and they’re still too easy to be interesting. Also, when there’s more than one winning move (which happens fairly often), you have to guess which one the game is expecting. If you get to checkmate a different way, the game tells you you’re wrong and makes you start over until you guess which move is the “right” one.

by Sweet Cait

I’m a beginner at this app and I was shocked to see how simple it is the problem is but like any other this app game app where it’s so obvious that the person you’re playing against is a bot. The issue that during the beginning you’re rightfully given the option to move and beat the “player” but then towards the end when I’m literally about to win I’m not able to. All can do is just move my checks around meanwhile this bot player can do whatever it wants and if that’s not happening time runs out and you get a pop up talking about how interesting the game was and the choice to start over which is why this isn’t for me. I’m not sure if these other reviews are fake and I wouldn’t be surprised if they all are they are mentioning the screwed “difficulty” like it’s a good thing when there’s a difference between making the game slightly difficult so you would wanna keep playing and just plain cheating the players, players should be allowed to win so don’t bother playing this on your phone where you will more than likely be competing with a robot.

by Artbraun

Stalemate called when there is no stalemate. Moves are still available. No en passant capture. No castling. Seems there is an arbitrary move limit. Should be an option or a option to continue. Great user interface and fun to play but with a few fixes it could be outstanding. Please fix your game and stop ignoring valid feedback.

by Nan196098121

Greed prevails. This company charges you to remove ads from the this app game, which was worth the money not to have to watch silly videos trying to get me to install stupid games. But now, this company is making you watch a stupid game video before you can undo a this app move, even though you paid them so you don’t have to sit through videos. They took a good this app app and ruined it by their unscrupulous money-grubbing tactics to make more profit.

by DarkGhost456

Whenever I absolutely demolish the computer the game ends in a draw every time. Took every piece except the king and I still had my Queen, a rook, a bishop and several pawns, 2 moves from checkmate and the game ended in a “draw”. Another game I played when the computer destroyed me had me running all over the board with my King. This is very aggravating and stupid, resigning the game is not a draw. Only checkmates in the beginning actually count as a win.

by YourWife’sSidePiece

Basically (in my experience) you can completely destroy the whole game and have nearly every piece on the board then the computer will make it so their last piece regardless of what it is, is impossible to get to. I’ve played about 10 games, all different moves, always the same outcome.

by Over4000

From the excessive ads, the 50 turn limit leading to winnable games that are considered stalemates, to the absurd ai that is somehow both incompetent and intelligent at the same time, the only thing keeping this game from one star is the UI. 3/10.

by Oldmantucker

Overall, this is a good this app game. I have one complaint if the computer takes all your pieces, it plays you out until it gets a checkmate. However, if you get with him two or three moves of beating the computer, it puts you in a drawer, when only the king is left. There should be an option for me to choose a draw if the computer is going to play it that way

by Gandolfimpersonator

I enjoy the game but after so many levels it becomes a bit ridiculous and will refuse to move pieces if it decides it’s not a good play even if that’s the only option that will have any impact in the game. Again it chooses incorrect positions for your pieces and will not let you choose your own. I say if the game really thinks I’m going to lose from playing your rook to 4E than let me lose darnit.

by Sfgvygrjv

I never write reviews, but Chess would be perfect except one major problem. The game works great with no lag and offers several levels of this app to play at. Regardless if your a beginner or avid this app player there is a level for you to be challenged at. However, the game constantly says stalemate and ends the game as a draw despite there being many opportunities for the game to be won by either the player or computer. It’s this glitch in the game that has lead me to delete the game entirely.

by Nathaniel Vasquez

The title says it all, there are games that I’m close to winning and the game registers it as a stalemate, even though there are/is a way to win the game ! It’s bullsh!t in reality, because then you are not able to unlock the next difficulty level without winning at least one game. I deleted Chess , because the developers didn’t at least add a stalemate off switch, feels like the scum bag that got saved from their well deserved fate, God it’s annoying and so injustice.

by Notmyqueen

Good game and lots of levels to play. The down side. If I’m loosing just end the game! I’m down to my Kingp and never a checkmate. Only once was it a draw. I literally get pinned to 2-3repetitive moves and the game just danced around the board moving knight, king or whatever. If you hit reset, then it commercial time for 3 min.

by Jvivuidjcjv

Its otay,i dont like that when you kill the king that the game does not end. I don’t really like that the this app pieces aren’t at the side when you get it out. Definitely you know that you’re playing against the bot. They are so dumb they do not make the right move bye-bye

by JGHocutt

While learning to play this app, most of my games end in a STALEMATE just before checkmate. Most of the games are very short in length (only a few minutes) and I don’t get the win. Very frustrating when you are trying to learn!! Also, the game should have some sort of feedback other than writing a review. There are multiple puzzles with more than one way to win.

by Meliza Roze

Through the different levels it is possible to avoid losing or winning over and over. Instead you can find a level that is beatable yet challenging. Also, the puzzles are a good way to practice strategy without the commitment of a whole game.

by Djksksjfhyd

It’s a good platform to play this app I’m a huge fan of this app but don’t have a this app board so Chess is really good for me and it’s nice that it’s free also I like how you can choose the level of difficulty you want so over all I like it and I give it a five out of five

by MrsMistyJohnson

I’m amazed with the game but some people say it draws the game when it’s not supposed to but it’s supposed to because of a 50 move limit rule that’s been around forever

by Idkkkkkkk!!!

Best this app game so far, I recently downloaded a few this app games but this one is addictive. It has amazing puzzles, you can play in 2d or 3d. Against computer or a friend, and it has 10 different didiculty levels. I’m learning to play this app and so far this is my best tool at hand with me on my phone and iPad. Definitely 5 stars. I pay for adds free.

by Grsmuggler

I am a novice at best. I just beat level 3 and that was challenging for me. I doubt that I will ever get above level 5, but I’m certainly going to try. I’m 59 now and I haven’t played much this app since college even though I still enjoy the game. However, I need to do something to keep my mind sharp because my family has a history of dementia and I’ve already seen signs of it in me. So playing this fun and challenging game just might keep me out of a nursing home.

by Jenziebear

I learned how to play this app using Chess. Used it for about a month initially to get decent at it, then started playing with people. I still play on here several games a day just for practice.

by PISTP

This is better than any other this app app. Better graphics and when you click on a piece it shows you where you can move.

by Lgr1949

It’s been a while since I played this app. I really enjoy it. I like thinking about booze. I like about the strategy of winning. It’s always nice if you learn more about the games you play though I’m definitely not no pro. Thanks.

by Conandrum7

I had try so many this app games but this one is the best one i had ever try it gives you the opportunity to go back in a move so you can fix your bad moves same time learn your mistakes awesome game I recommend it to everyone only thing I don’t like is the adds very annoying
But I think that is what pay for the game thank developers for this magnificent this app game

by 8oh8_guy

It’s a non-flashy super simple this app game. Except I never really studied this app and the little things about it but from the first level of it being a total dumb dumb to beginner is a huge skill gap for somebody who enjoys this app casually in person. This game is definitely for hardcore this app players because I get killed in the start.

by 2024haircutGG

I love this it has helped me improve and now I can beat a whole lot of people in this app then how I used to back to back in 2018 when I had just began and wondered if there was a game to help me and here I am with this magnificent game which I think you should definitely buy!!!

by MrMike67

How many of us Mid 2 High level game.
It’s straight up table n pieces just add to its enjoyment…it’s just this app
But, nothing can compare to playing down by Lake front Chicago tables

by Ajtheman

This is one of the best this app apps I’ve downloaded currently. It’s free with ads but only 2.99 to remove them. It’s starts off very easy for beginners but works its way up to match your skill level. Way better than playing mindful app games. I would highly recommend this game if you are into this app!

by Gramudgin

Pieces are clear & levels seem accurate or
At least fair. I’ve beaten level 6 but not consistently so I haven’t moved on although I did beat level 7 once by mistake!!

by Magic763

It’s a great game with some pretty good features like the difficulty level it’s easy when it’s on easy and am pretty sure it’s hard if turn it to hard but I like am chest fan! Good game

by Robby&lauren

This this app game it amazing I’m a beginner and I got it on easy and they make you really work for your moves this game will definitely improve your skills

by Jotar0 Kuj0

Offers many different difficulties and game customization options. The design of the board really makes the game that much kore fun to play. I really hope they can make an online version soon.

by Nuheaanuheauheaheaeaa

Thank you so so much for inventing a game like this. Now I can finally beat my grandpa in this app.
Thanks so much again

P.S.
Keep inventing more games like this!!:)😃

by Tjones2000

This is great to have I told my friend to download it and maybe you all can figure out how we play each other

by Katiebear19

I am just learning to play this app and I love Chess. It allows me to have fun and learn at the same time. I have even won a couple on beginner and although I’ve got a long way to go, this has been the perfect starter game for me.

by Dear Marko

I like the 3d this app perspective. It gives me a sense of playing a real board game. Also, it lets me play at different levels, but I can also Lear, as a beginner, one step at a time.

by Marie The Medicare Lady

You can learn to be a better player by increasing your level of difficulty and reviewing games. The ads are not offensive for anyone, so far. Really enjoy it & play a game daily.

by Bigdonhd1

this app helps me reason things out ,what wonderful game you have,perfect in every way

by Uncle Reltub

I love your app because I don’t have much money to get a real chest set but now I can play this app online

by Derrice Gray

I appreciate the lessons and the easy play mode since I didn’t know how to play this app before installing this. I also like the way Chess looks in general.

by The Goat In Chess

I love your app. This everything is computers you can play against and there's two players you can play against your friends and there's even puzzles and learning how to play this app if you don't know how to play. I love Chess you guys are the best

by Jayden Svetlecic

I’m 19 I’ve learned to think and come up with solutions to solve different ways to defeat my opponent. I’ve just started learning how to play and I feel like i know how to play but still have a long way to go!

by Haznosebleed

This games great when you don’t have a this app board(or friends). I am not the greatest at this app but I’m still trying🫠. I love playing it and you should to!

Whether waiting for a Bus or Standing In Line for ANY Reason … This this properly answers the Question: “What to do to make the wait VALUABLE!!”.

by T_Shields05
