    Be aware that your friend also needs to purchase this app for it to work! This should really be clearly laid out upfront. I’m going to ask for a refund as a result.

    It has happened for at least 4-5 times now. I make a move the other person doesn't see the game at all. We both are on latest version.

  • I have the app already!

    I put my friend in check mate. The app does not let me know I won. It lets my fiend know I won. There should be feedback letting me know i won. Revised.. took a little time but eventually let me know I won

    I actually really like this format. There are a few things lacking. There is no checkmate or even anything to signify when somebody has one. The game just sort of stops. Also it'd be nice to see the pieces I've taken throughout the game.

  • Needs fixing.

    You need to fix the game. Won't allow checkmate to end the game.

  • Suggestion for improvement

    I actually like this app better than the other all on the message store right now. I like how it tells you the last move you made by board position, it really helps you learn the system. It would be nice if there was a way to play the game by calling board positions and have the computer act as a moderator for moves. So if I called D1-H5 as the first move for white, it would tell me "you can't do that because there's a pawn in the way!" The computer could also act as an aid by letting you "cheat" persay and look at the board when you get lost. For the second idea, I love chess, but I would like a way to pick up from a physical game where I left off. There needs to be a way to set up a board from scratch. This would also allow people to make 'thought problems' for friends to solve like "see if you can checkmate in two" kind of things.

    I bought too early, there are better & free iMessage chess apps in the store that are not featured! Search for chess using the magnifier symbol in the Message App Store!
