What players say

Players report the game has strong single-player chess tools and puzzles, especially for learning, but many are frustrated because the online multiplayer stopped working. A significant number of reviews say the developer wants players to buy a newer version to regain online play, and others note missing graphics settings and a blurry 3D board.
