great app. I just hate the change they made that makes that awful annoying sound when the king is in check and you touch any other piece. I like having sounds enabled in the game but not that annoying fart sound with the king in check. please let us disable that. just a flashing red square is enough of a reminder for me.

Thank you for this feedback on the illegal move sound in games. We'll consider adding a dedicated setting for players who'd like to disable it while keeping other sound effects.

I like this app I feel like I have gotten just a little bit better at chess because of the time I spent playing the bots. However I am not very good at chess so it could be a skill issue but I finally managed to get the upper hand on one of the bots and just because I was winning the bot decides to put me in check lock and keeps checking me and it ended in a draw because of it. I felt very cheated after this experience. Other than that great app!

Thank you for this feedback. It sounds like a draw by repetition occurred, which is when the same position is repeated three times: www.chess.com/terms/threefold-repetition-chess. To avoid these, make sure to safeguard the King and look out for unavoidable checks!

Great for learning but when playing bots it would better (in my opinion) if you could do take back on the last move rather than it ending the game completely so you can learn from your mistake and replay it so you can try a different move, I'm very new to chess and often end in a draw or get check mated without seeing it coming and although you can review the game and see where you went wrong I think it would help me at least to be able to take back the game ending move and continue.

Thank you for this detailed feedback. We'll explore this possibility, since it makes sense that players might want to continue the game differently if it ends with a sudden checkmate or sudden draw.
