Chess - Play & Learn Online

Are video games art? This is the question people have been asking for years, but it has not been answered, this is what I aim to do on this day of July. Upon downloading this exquisite masterpiece of a game, I was met with shock, my dreams had come true! As a child I would always play the great game of chess with my papa in London, and now that he has passed on, I can now play with anyone across this repugnant green earth! What a scandal 🤭. I can fully state that this game has improved my life immensely since his passing, and I will be giving this game a 5 start review, as it is; dare I say, the greatest game ever made, and I have played “The Queen; an autobiography” by Rockstar games. So now I have the same question of yestermorrow, are video games art, well let me rephrase it. Is a sunny day with birds chirping and children playing art? Are the tunes of Mozart and Bach art? And is the great book of Christ art? Well then you have answered the question good sir, chess is art, nay, a symphony of moves, all there, ready to be played, but do you have the robustness or strength to do it? All the way down to the sound the first pawn makes, this game is a masterpiece of perspective at its truest and richest form, and therefore this game of white and black must live on for eons to come. Good day sir. - Johnathon Wilmington, chess enhancement team, former prime minister of Britain, god save the queen.

I’ve been using this Chess app for about three or four years. It has a lot of additional features like tactics puzzles, videos, and preset predicaments to challenge you and help you set up future moves to create the best situation for your pieces. There is also a play-by-play review of your games which critiques your moves and tells you what you could’ve done better. A couple things that need improvement though. Often the app will fail to notify me when it’s my turn after my opponent has moved, requiring me to open the app and navigate to my active games to manually check if it is my turn. The other issue is that sometimes I will try to start a new game with a friend with the “Play A Friend” option and the app opens the “active connection countdown” when I’m not trying to play a live game. I’m sure there is a way to create a new game with a friend without creating an active challenge, but I am not sure how. If this feature exists, it just needs to be integrated in an easy to find menu. (This review is based on my use from a Samsung Galaxy S5). EDIT: I have an iPhone X now and I am able to successfully use the “Play A Friend” option to create a daily game without the app opening the “Active Connection Countdown” so the issue I stated previously may already be resolved.

I’ve been working to log in after not being active on this app for about 6 months and when I try to log in, my password is incorrect, and so I reset it. After I reset the password and put it in, it also said incorrect password. This went on for about an hour until I broke a sweat and was looking for the nearest bridge to jump off of, so I quit and tried to delete the app, but it just was removed from my Home Screen and apparently I cannot remove it from my phone completely so here I am. Holy cow. Oh…and to add to the stress, I was on two 3 hour flights today and I am currently enduring a 2:30 hour car ride through the middle of the desert in Idaho. My legs hurt and I feel like my body is about to get glued to a seat, as that is all I have been doing today; sitting. And to top it off, I sat in the middle seat on both flights and on the second flight there was a (I don’t want to be rude but) person who took up an amount of space that could make one feel uncomfortable sitting right next to me. The WiFi didn’t work on either flight. When I landed, me and my friend put in a couple dollars into an air hockey machine while waiting for the bags and the disc/puck never came out. We also lost 10 bucks on a claw machine. Hope you have a nice day 😭😭😭😭😭.
