Love this game
I have always had a weird interest in this app, I was taught how to play very young. I love books/movies/shows about this app but rarely read or watch them. So every 2 or so years I remember how much I love it. This time, what reminded me was reading The Queens Gambit (highly recommend by the way). But I didn’t have my this app board and not many people who would play with me so I downloaded this game and love it. It’s also a way to play discretely because everyone thinks it’s weird for a 14 y/o girl to like this app so much because it is for Russian guys w glasses and man buns.

Idiotic computer in this game
this app is a great game but has rules. This ridiculous computer on this specific game fails to comprehend that the same move repeated three times is stalemate. This stupid game played the same move 100 times continuing to put me in check because mate for it was imminent. Not an intelligent this app computer. It also continued the game when only kings remained on the board. It’s time to retool the computer’s thinking or get out of the this app biz. There are more issues than this, these two are just glaring deficiencies that make this game maddening.

Kaizen your chess skills for novice players only
The program is OK if you are a novice needing practice. However, it is extremely weak in the end game, lacks variability with openings, and could cause you to be over confident. I win about 70 %. I am a novice. Also, when you have a king and night or king and bishop end game there is not any way to draw, or in some cases resign. I enjoy using the program, but it does need some software work. Thank you for this opportunity to provide a review. Bob from Clearwater, FL.
