Overall a fantastic chess app. Snappy, lovely graphics, lots of customisation options with regards to the board, pieces etc. Great to practice my rusty skills on, and great to review the game to see where my (many) mistakes are. The multiplayer is open to some abuse, though. Players can pause a game for an infinite amount of time, to possibly check an online assistant, or to literally find a way of quitting without actually resigning. I would love a clock option to remove most of this abuse.

Multiplayer online last undo is essential. Often a move is by accident. And instead of the massive "chess" on top, I presume most players have that iq to know that this is what they are playing, why not a simple chat interface, at least with some standard words, like "well done" or alike. Otherwise I love it, I went for the paid version as it's just good.

This is the best chess game I have found for Android but it could be better. I'd like an option to turn off all the slidey animations you have to wait through in the menu screens. Also, sometimes after the computer opponent moves, I want to go back and see what its last move before that was, but then the computer's next move will often be different to the original one so I can't ever get back to the same place again.

Please go to Menu, Options and uncheck "Screen Transitions" to stop animations between screens. To look back at earlier moves without risking cpu playing a different move, please go to Menu, Review Game and use the arrows to step backwards and forwards through moves played so far.
