Why No “Undo” After Checkmate?

Why can’t a player undo a checkmated move instead of the game simply ending?

Love This Game

I like chess, I love this version of chess. It’s so fun and a lot less stressful for me than regular chess. Highly recommend
trying it out.

I love it!

As soon as I started playing, I loved it! The adds aren’t annoying at all and the gameplay is really fun! Keep up the good work
Zach!

Actually Really Fun and Helpful

I downloaded the game for fun but it is so interesting. The random pieces help me think of ways to win without certain pieces.
Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose. But it is a fun and exciting way of playing chess.

Hi

I just wish the AI would get stronger and each color got the same material. I guess what I’m asking for is Chess960+Fairy Chess.
Also dark mode would be nice. And canceling IAP triggers an alert of what looks like debug descriptions. Would also help to have
Game Center sign in within app.

I love it… So much.

I do love regular chess, but can never find someone to play a casual, non serious game with. This filled that desire and cranked
it up to 13. I’m so happy to have this silly game.

Amazing game

I live this game but if u hate to lose or don’t like being underpowered this game is not for u. Those who are ok with that, good
luck…

Fun idea

Fun to play. You can get stuck going back and forth with the king and AI, and never draw, so it gets 4 stars. This is because as a
chess player, I still expect that convention.

Great game

I love the way the game works I have been a chess fan for a bit but I never really understood it but now the moves just come to me
it became so clear

It’s a great and hard game.

It’s a good game that lets you have a mini power trip ever time that you get 7 queens in your starting group and it is just like
normal chess but harder and easier at the same time. Although I do believe that it’s not for a simple minded person like me.

Chess in it’s finest form!

You are getting the maximum experience if you don’t know how to play chess and just random putting your pawns somewhere and
capturing enemy pawns until you win! The only thing I don’t like it’s that there is a full version. I personally recommend the
Apple Arcade version.

Really Bad Chess, Really Good Game

It's a really good and fun game to play. It gives the hundred year old chess a great twist. So basically, it's a really cool and
fun game.:)

Awesome take on chess

Fun to play! I wish 1v1 mode had a setting for “normal” chess.

I would give it 4.5 stars

My one gripe is that there’s no night mode setting bc I play often at night before I sleep. Otherwise I’ve had so much fun
playing this game and it really makes traditional chess feel more approachable.

The bot needs to avoid draw repetition

It’s very annoying when I have to resign the game because the bot just keeps repeating moves, in a way that forces me to repeat
moves. Very annoying that the game has to end there.

Oh gosh

If your a good chess player like me I would not play this if I knew what it was if your new to chess play it because it’s funny
but it hurts to see that I get 7 queens and 1 pawn when I try to play an opening.

Meh

A fun game until you get to around 70ish on ranked mode then it is not possible to win. Even if you kill everything other than a
king and one special piece it will just keep moving until it finally wins.

Undo is broken

The ads aren’t rewarding any undos.

Loved it until…

Had my 150 week win streak erased. Hoping developers can correct this. Haven’t played it since.

Legend of Slime: Idle RPG - Good Game. For mobile games i dont really write good review offen. But this is an awesome game with so many rewards (im addicted and u get so
much) good thing its not pay to win rly like no point in playing but im still addicted to this and brawl stars.

Solitaire Duels - Fun game 😊. It’s lots of fun. I just started playing so let’s see if it really pays..

Bid Wars - Storage Auction Master - Terrible game. So many ads it’s ridiculous. Spend more time watching ads than game play. They might as well call it ad wars cause that’s the
only war you are gonna be in is the war against all the ads after every click in game. Game is a total waste of space on
anyone’s phone..
