Chess

I’m fairly new to chess and I find even on bar up from easy it’s extremely difficult. It’s a skill issue on my part :) but I recommend other apps to learn rather than this one. Another thing I’ve observed was that the game plays odd when checkmate is imminent. It’ll declare a stalemate even when other pieces are able to move. but will continue the game if it’s possible to checkmate you. Example: I was two moves from achieving Smothers Mate, and it had two Pawns and one Rook moving the rook forward would’ve created a path to run forward but instead moved one of its pawns forward essentially blocking himself in on purpose? Never seen a computer do that so I moved Queen to top row and and in one move it would’ve been a checkmate but instead just randomly declared a stalemate. That shocked me until I figured it out it blocked himself in on purpose to declare a stalemate. Some cheap tactics 💀💀💀

I highly recommend people to download this app, it’s free and helps you learn to play chess. The puzzles are extremely fun, it lets you choose what level your playing against when your playing against a robot, and it even lets you play against other people. The only thing that I don’t like about it is that you have to find the other player instead of the app finding you one when you’re playing against another person, if you don’t understand what I mean, I meant that instead of the app automatically finding you a partner, you actually have to physically convince someone to play with you, in other words, the app is just a chessboard when your not playing against a robot. However, overall this is a very good app for playing chess.

In almost any case scenario presented by the quiz mode, check can be done upon the player’s king. For that matter, it is not possible to logically win in a two move strategy. If I do a first move, computer can check my king. Then, I have to bring my king to safety, and lose my two move chance. Secondly, To win in a two move sequence, I have to guess accurately. what is the next move the computer will do? This is often enough a random move. That means I have a random, and not a logical chance to win. Accuracy is premium when playing chess. Quizzes do not present an accurate scenario to win in a two move strategy. The app also charge money to give you fixed clues. It is a scam.
