    The game suffers from significant stability issues, with frequent bugs causing pieces to glitch and move incorrectly during gameplay. Users report that dragging chess pieces can be particularly problematic, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “It's a fantastic idea, but this is insanely buggy. Your pieces regularly glitch out when you try to move them, meaning they'll very often go in the wrong spot.”
    • “Also, dragging the chess pieces sometimes is really buggy.”
