The hint system is very useful for beginner chess players, providing guidance without giving away the entire answer.
The game offers fun and challenging puzzles that help improve chess skills while also providing interesting historical context about former chess champions.
The charming personality, nice music, and aesthetics contribute to an enjoyable experience for chess enthusiasts.

The visual and interface quality is low, with monochrome 2D retro pixel art that may not appeal to everyone.
Each game contains only around 20 short puzzles, leading to questions about the necessity of launching multiple separate games.
The game could have been delivered in a more accessible format, such as a browser game or video, making the price seem overly ambitious.
