8 of 25Chess is a fun way to waste your time.
This is the best game in the world. It keeps me sharp mentally and the level that I play on is not easily winnable.
I am still a novice, playing at the midpoint setting. Often I will replay a different move to learn different strategies and tactics. My only issue is checkmate is final, because I am learning I would like to have that feature.
I encountered a position where, after Queenside castling as white, the computer on the highest difficulty setting made no move as Black and yet somehow put me in check. The same thing happened 3 times in a row after using the undo feature. Up to that point though the app is fine, hence 3 stars.
As exquisite a chess game as you will ever play. 5 stars. No notes.
