It plays pretty well, except sometimes my phone screen registers me tapping in a different area and it moves my piece to a different location; however, there's no option when playing the computer to undo the last move. So you end up losing critical pieces that never would've happened in real life. Disappointing. Edit: I lowered it again because it keeps moving to the wrong spaces and made me lose pieces and thus the game when I would've won. Very stupid software!

We're sorry you're seeing a problem. We've not seen this here and we're not seeing other reports. When you are playing against the computer in Casual mode, you can use the "Undo" button on screen to take back any moves.

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.

Been using this app for well over a decade. Every once in a while I test a different chess app yet always return to this one. The graphics are ok, but its the controls that have me hooked. I'm only a novice player, but a daily one (you'd think I'd show improvement at some point), so I can't really rate the gameplay algorithm. Obviously, the more difficult you set it, the harder it will be to win.
