Partido empezada se borra al cerrar la aplicación.

Un fallo enorme que no pueda quedarse la partida empezada en memoria. Me gustaría poder jugar cuando me plazca y tener la partida disponible cuando yo pueda jugar. La aplicación deberían ofrecerla gratuitamente hasta que el programa está listo y sofisticado. Hasta ahora deja mucho que desear.

Le falta mas.

El problema número uno es que no se puede dejar de jugar y regresar más tarde. Las partidas que no se terminan en el acto se borran después de unas horas. Debía de tener memoria para poder jugar la partida en días si se quisiera. Por otro lado debiera de tener un dispositivo para poder guardar varias partidas en memoria y seguirlas jugando en cualquier momento o día. El programa tiene potencial, pero lo veo muy verde todavía. No justifica el precio. Deben de ofrecerlo gratis hasta que sea mejorado.

Game resets after few hours and unexpected error in the end

Seems like this app has bugs. Two issues 1] The game resets after few hours( no save feature) 2] unexpected error shown towards the end of the game which is frustrating

One of the best

With so many paid chess apps, that this one is so useful and still free is remarkable. It is so useful, both for learning openings and for general analysis. Thank you for making this!

Excellent

As a rank amateur at chess, this app has been so helpful in reviewing and understanding popular chess openings especially. It’s hard to believe this is a free app!

Great app! Super useful. Wish it had a save function

All in the title. Strong, smart, fast-processing engine. Excellent tool to have. Just wish I could save or something so I don’t have to re-do all the moves if I close out of the app on accident/in general :) Otherwise, not a major deciding factor in using this app and definitely recommending it! I love it
