Amazing! Fantastic Chess app. I only wish the number of game allowed is increased for the free edition and show the place where one is playing. Other than that, its the best out there.

Allows me to play with friends and family far away love it!!!

Does what you wasnt to do, play chess with who you want. It also has a simple design which is a huge plus.

Only complaint is that they wont let you challenge specific people or have a rematch without buying the full version.

I dont know what more you would want from a chess app.

I can be on wifi or cellular with perfect reception and occasionally ..probably once a day during a game it will say that my opponent is trying to reconnect. Then when shows he has I have lost about a minute in time. Its a glitch they refuse to fix. Would not waste your time. Stick with fics...free internet chess. Big waste not too mention there are not always games available.

This is the chess app youve been looking for. Just buy it and never look back.

A terrific chess app! Great competition from all over the world - a nice presentation with great features. I use it all the time - unfortunately, I am driving my family crazy.

Simple and easy to use, an overall great app!

On latest version of both iOS and app and the game will continuously be "reconnecting" which has made me lose several games due to me losing on time. Thus takes the fun out if the game entirely as I play fast games exclusively. If this doesnt get corrected soon I will remove the app without hesitation. Update: I gave the app another try and am still losing fast games due to the lag and reconnecting issues. Was told by support that they didnt see an issue. I guess my iPhone 6 plus on speedy wifi is just not good enough? Horrible service, horrible gaming experience. I do not recommend at all.

Great app for a quick or slow game of chess. Typically can find a match within 60 seconds.

Pretty good

Of the 3 chess apps I have on my iPhone this one is the best.

I have gotten all my friends and kids to download this app,

I had to pay premium to get chess 960. But it is my favorite way to play the game. All the customization works well giving my friends and I the ideal slow(ish) chess game.

Not keeping up but it works.

First chess app I downloaded and I have no need for anything else. This app rules.

While its a good app to play a fast chess game against people around the world, but you cant play your friends in a fast game without upgrading to an $8 yearly fee. Its really weird they would block that feature. Stay away if you want to play with your friends. Greedy app developer!

Best chess game, easy to use for all different skill levels.

This site is pretty bad. It is only good for beginners. I have played on other sites from yahoo to FICS. Too many players offering draws in totally lost positions ( mate in 1 or down a queen and two pieces). I have lost so many games because I have lost time on my opponents move. Other sites have ways to compensate for lag but this on does not.
