★★★★ Rubaiyat Siam 7/4/2026 v4.10.0-googleplay
pathetic new animation whoever wanted this app should be fired immediately
★★★★ Jason Law 7/4/2026
look I love this game and app but the worst thing that really ruins it is whenever you win or lose a game it is almost impossible to find the ending move. JUST LET US SEE THE FINAL TURN why do I have to go search through my profile history to see the final turn on a game I just played for fifteen days? let us see the final move. I get a notification for losing a game but when I click it I see nothing. I don't understand how it's so poorly designed

★★★★ Petru Balanescu 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
for game reviews you need a platinum membership that costs too much. if you had game reviews with the gold membership I'd give it 5stars
★★★★ hel lo 7/3/2026
does not allow you to win calls a draw as soon as you have an advantage
★★★★ foxontherider 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
new update is garbage. ads and weird piece movement animation. horrible
★★★★ Behrad Mir 7/3/2026
the worst chess game ever 👆👆👆
★★★★ Dalton Mitchell 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
Swiss tournaments won't pair me
★★★★ Divyash Jaiswal 7/3/2026 v4.6.13-googleplay
Low time warning or alert is not activating even after enabling
★★★★ Gary KoolnFun 7/3/2026
Same rigged match. Same old bots, e4/e5 will clearly shows no difference between rating 100 or 1900. Making great move in 1 sec then really having problem when mating. Making mistakes, but not mated. Resulting stalling/losing by time out. Really wasting time.
★★★★ Antony Amal 7/3/2026
worst update bugs
★★★★ Lee Parkes 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
too many sandbaggers on this game. players have been playing 2,3,4 year's and still a mid 200-300 score coming out and throwing their queen around like magnus carlsen obliterating players who have been playing 6 months. ive stopped reporting because nothing gets done about it. thanks for the reply though
★★★★ M Diandra J F 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
the dev reset all of the config option for user ?
★★★★ Constantin Iorgu 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
Ive veen playing chess for years but i cant belive the amout of times that i lose because my time ends faster than me playing a move.This game its bu..hit rather play old way on a chess board.And they have subscribtions as well and for what?I meet a cheater every 10 games and i get muted from day 0 on the chats whithout knowy why ? Bad app and bad habit expecially for those that want to learn more about chess.On top they have adds if you dont subscribe 😂
★★★★ Leo Rain 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
Too many cheats. Almost every player is using an AI, low-level players are making grandmaster moves in seconds. Chessbots have killed this game.
★★★★ Tommy Magner 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
enough is enough. stop adding animations. allow them to be disabled from a menu that i can find in game. it's killing my focus. also everyone should be aware that ads have invaded an as that survived for years without them
★★★★ Spartak Hamitaj 7/3/2026
Players are leaving the game and I have to wait a full 8 minutes and when the minutes run out the game doesn't end the minutes stay at 0.00.1
★★★★ Harsh jain 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
wrost experience specially in bullet matches
★★★★ Camila Du Plessis 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
cada vez mais incluem animações desnecessárias no board que só servem para desconcentrar. As ultimas animações incluidas não consegui nem encontrar aonde desativa: não tem necessidade do rei ficar vermelho quando está em check, ao aparecer uma animação dourada toda vez que uma peça é selecionada.
★★★★ Gaurav Chaudhary 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
un sensible moves
★★★★ Andrew Smerdov 7/3/2026 v4.10.0-googleplay
bad new animations 😡😡😡😡
★★★★ Kevin Dare 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
unfortunately the cheating is rampant on the app. obviously no security to stop it
★★★★ Petter Blomkvist 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
can you disable the cheap new 2000s css animations? so ugly overlaying the pieces, looks very low effort
★★★★★ King El 7/3/2026 v4.9.49-googleplay
this game is probably one of the most addictive games I've ever played, and it's really fun too. but i don't understand the way it adds and removes points, instead of the standard +8 or -8 you get when you win or lose I've been losing 8-10 points per loss and when I win I only get back 6 or 7 which is very very annoying, even draws minus points from me now whether I was in a better position or not and I can't understand why. please do something about it
