Ratings and Reviews

Rating: 4.3/5 based on 2K+ reviews

(*) is required

5 ★ good aap

1 ★ This is the app with only limited navigation. This is the free app which has more ads than chess pieces. This is the app with learning on the various chess pieces which can only be accessed through payment. So yes it's free: but just not very good.

4 ★ I'm new but starting to understand

5 ★ Great app

5 ★ Fantastic for beginners.
