This game is really good . But there are lack of good players and players are not justified from their Elo . Need to develop more . Otherwise it is unique from others . Do something so that a bigger amount of people can get attracted towards it . Add dark mode and give a crate or a gift whenever the player got the 1 to 100 rank leaderboard . Anyway , good game . 👍👍

This is one of the best chess application I have found on play store. Kudos to the developers. It is so perfect with least ads. The various modes of playing chess, and one can practice and learn different tactics from popular games of different world class players. It also has ranking system which is very good. The game never crashed, and it doesn't has a bug at all. But, I have found out one small shortcoming which is, it have limited time period. One can only play a maximum time of 15 minutes.

Best chess app! I'd like to see more color options in the more normal boards and piece sets like the "Noble" and "Metallic." A voice chat option could be really cool too! Have a button on the game screen that lets your opponent know if you have voice chat open or closed. Those are two things I'd love to see, but this app is awesome. All the character stuff, pets, rewards, and so on make it so much more interesting than just chess. Great timer options and tournaments. All well thought out!
