Comments:
Bad functionality for a chess app. Multiple bugs, terrible multiplayer infrastructure as far as handling the data goes. Theres 0 reason a chess board, representative of less than 64 bytes of data should take over 1000ms to send to the other player, especially on a premove (shouldnt this be qued by the server to the other players client to make the move instantanious as intended by the person moving???). Can't play competitively with such a huge time advantage for opponent. Ill find a better app.
App is ok for the most part. Tactics trainer is buggy and sometimes engine does not work when doing analysis. Expect at least 1 out of 10 puzzles not to load with a message that tells you to check your internet connection. It will eventually load if you keep refreshing but it's extremely annoying.
It keeps freezing leaving me unable to make any moves and when the timer runs out it's always me who loses. I've lost several games because of this. I had it installed for a long time before this even started. Reinstalling it didn't help at all. I was enjoying it before that but now it's unplayable.
Couldn't watch the match or load tournaments or live shows. Logged out. Now it won't let me log in. Tried to use email to get login details and it has an error doing that too. Very disappointed. I'd rather pay $79 a year for something else.
Very good almost perfect. It needs only some improvements. Like a team of staff and oh yeah moderation and don't forget make it fair -- administration for example. Never ban users from a wonderful and perfect website such as this."
