Overall one of the best chess online games with real quality players.
Great graphics and smooth gameplay, making it enjoyable to play.
The ability to play against real people from all over the world enhances the experience.

Recent updates have introduced bugs, including automatic game losses and connection issues.
The game allows illegal moves, such as moving into check, which goes against standard chess rules.
The star system for playing is frustrating, as it limits the number of games one can play without watching ads or making purchases.

The monetization strategy of the game has received significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming frequency and intrusiveness of advertisements. Many players express frustration over being forced to watch ads after every game or when they run out of stars, which detracts from the overall gaming experience. While some acknowledge the game's quality, the excessive ads have led to lower ratings and even uninstallation for several users.
- “Excellent chess game, very addictive and a good time consumer. Better than all other chess games. Fast and reliable, and to gain a star, you watch a game clip for about 20 seconds. No ads interrupting the experience!”

- “Some in-app purchases, but well worth it.”
- “The game is fun but too many ads and it's too limited; can't play more than 3 times in a row.”
