The timer function is rather useless. What helps me to claim "win" when there are no statistics, and poor players are same irresponsible with timer or no timer. And it adds fragmentation to finding opponents, only those with same timer timer setting are probably matched. I just know now how long the opponent is idle, otherwise it's a bad design.

We're sorry this new feature did not meet your expectations. It was added for players who want the closure of ending a game when a opponent leaves before the end. The number of timer options is limited so we would expect random matching speeds to improve as more players update the app. We will keep this new feature under review.

Been using it for like 15 years, love it! Level 7 can easily beat me, so I mostly play at 6, so I get the occasional win! 😜

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.
