Pros
- Progressive difficulty with ten levels, starting easy and becoming challenging.
Theme 'Good difficulty curve' identified in recent_review #5
Evidence (1)
“It starts out very easy. The beginner level is like playing against a child. But then it gets progressively more difficult. I just finished the third level and it was fairly challenging. There are ten levels so this game should keep me busy for a while.”Rating: 5★ November 12, 2025 925 likes - Fun and relaxing gameplay experience overall.

Theme 'Paid version still has ads' identified in recent_review #2
Evidence (2)
“Did I really pay $6.99 to still have ads? Puzzles, that can only be played once is the only place that ads were removed.”Rating: 1★ October 19, 2025 102 likes“A finite number of single play puzzles sucks more.”Rating: 1★ October 19, 2025 102 likes - AI opponent has programming errors, such as forcing stalemates incorrectly.
Theme 'AI bugs' identified in recent_review #3
Evidence (1)
“the computer forces a stalemate even though it has other moves. A stalemate is only when there are no more legal moves. but the computer keeps going using the same move and the game ends in a stalemate. That is a bad programming error.”Rating: 2★ November 09, 2025 121 likes

4★This is a great app and, I would have given it five stars if it weren't for the amount of ads. Immediately after opening the app there's an ad, finish a match there's an ad, every two puzzles there's an ad and if I wait too long before choosing an option on the main screen, when I do choose there's an ad. cut down on the ads and I'd give it another star. otherwise it's getting to the point where I may uninstall and find a new chess app.

1★Did I really pay $6.99 to still have ads? Puzzles, that can only be played once is the only place that ads were removed. Puzzles that can only be played once suck, replays are where you can really learn. A finite number of single play puzzles sucks more. In actual gameplay, a move that would result in a draw can only be replayed after an ad? GTFO it's shiny and sounds cool; that's what the single star is for.

2★adds are very annoying. after you loose a match, it instantly goes to an add and doesn't let you see what actually happened... it's very stupid. Also, the computer forces a stalemate even though it has other moves. A stalemate is only when there are no more legal moves. but the computer keeps going using the same move and the game ends in a stalemate. That is a bad programming error.
Scope
1★Worst and most intrusive ads in a mobile game I've ever seen. Not interested in paying for no ads, but I expect to at least be able to skip an ad after 10 or so seconds. Every ad I've gotten in this game was unskippable and forced you to play another game, or forced you to open the Play store multiple times before it would go away. Absolutely horrendous.
