Love chess! I have been playing every day for a few months. It helps me exercise my brain by learning the strategy's, values, plays and rules lol from it though. Edit: Not sure when you started this but you having the rights to download any app to my find is uncalled for and risky. Tired every day another one of your games on my phone. Sadly, I removing this app.

Had a lot of fun with this game over quite a few years but finally what beat me were the ads which became very annoying, they come up and run a long time before the game starts, they often don't close unless you install an additional game. You have to shut down the app and then restart it, but you may be penalized by having to play black the next game. The company says that they can't control the ads, well that's a shame. There must be a way of having ads without it being completely annoying.
