Chesspresso

The game is great until you need support. It seems the owners are willing to collect dues but not provide any support or even reply to emails if anything is needed. I'd recommend downloading something else with recent and active support.

Very good chess App. Some UI could be streamlined more, but all the important stuff is well designed and works consistently. No real issues; been using for about 5 years now I think. I reccomend it.

Exactly what you need. I very nearly switched to another one as there was no option to send my opponent a message. Then on 2nd move it appeared.

the En Passant works in my app! Wonderful app!

You can make 50 moves at day, not enough to finish a match...

En passant not allowed

Easy to get into, fun plays!

The best! Nuff said

I think it needs a 'clock' option other than a minimum of one day to move. Once I setup a strategy but wait 24 hours for opponent to move, other battles have confused my strategy for that battle. I know of one other chess app that does have this option but the interface isn't as friendly as chesspresso. Thanks

Major bug, time elapsed claims possible! Please fix this problem. If someone change their clock forward after making moves they can claim victory! This is terrible please fix this. I lost many games by cheaters now.

Great app. But why the invitation I receive in the status bar they disapper when I click on it? I've never played with ppl who invited me! Please fix it!

I have change my rating to slightly higher because it is decent but please fix or give explanation. I love chess and this could be a decent app. I'm fact it is aside from the bug. I got this app because I was ready to play against other players and get a true reflection of my elo rating. If you want my money fix this because it seems flawed. I have played 8 rated games (2 fun). I won't 5 rated and lost 3. It shows that I lost 4. Fix please

... but please please please make it work on multiple devices. At home it's better to play on the tablet but if you leave home without logging out you're screwed if you try to play with your phone.

GlItches frequently and doesn't update that it is my turn, I've lost games because of this. Currently the free version won't allow me to create a fourth game. Still the interface is good, and it works fine most games. Would consider buying for no ads if it worked Properly all the time.

Many great features. I would like a little better interaction with opponents and better navagation of past moves. The ability to review games from a particular opponent together would be nice too.

Started my first game, I'm black and after 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5...Every move I try to make is invalid. I'm not in check and have tried just about every legal move black can make in this position. So I'll lose by default with not much choice. Poor...

With no response about exporting past games and still not able to export past games, I am no longer using the app. Sad. I really enjoyed the app. Great for correspondence chess. If there is an update for exporting past games or if developer explains how, I will gladly start using app again. Exporting past played games is HUGE for my chess game so I can play better in the future.

Chesspresso USED to be great. Simple. Basic. Online chess. Then came the user profiles, the flashy graphics and now the whole thing is frustrating. Notifications appear for your turn but then when you open the app nothing is there! You have to REFRESH then WAIT 5 minutes for your move to appear. Slow. Unresponsive. Amateur.

Great app but the push notifications disappear if you look at a move then exit without having played a move. Always been an issue with this app. And it's not on the iPhone so you'll need something else to play a lot of your mates

You cannot abort a game once it has started, even if no moves have been made. Also, there are players cheating and using engines to play, so an anti- cheating program would be nice. Either than that, this app is ok.

I like the idea of the game but i am constantly observing that after i closr the game, I cannot reopen it unless i restart my phone. I constantly check my ram amount and i always have several hundred Mb free. It is extremely frustrating!

I do not like that I am being li ited to 50 moves per day. Its now the next day and I still cannot move. I do not like being held hostage for ransome. This should be made clear up front.

2 games I'm playing expired over a week ago and I still haven't been rewarded the wins for them. DO NOT DOWNLOAD. If players are losing individual games then can just simply stop making moves and it won't effect their leader board status.

The app itself could be a great online multiplayer chass app but... When I upgraded to paid user my payment was in pending status for lots of hours. Then I checked in Google Wallet, it was completed. However I still get the advertisements, can't play unlimited and I didn't receive any answer to my mail from Azurewings.

1. Give few good board color combinations, such as black/white, green/white, brown/white. Make the white pieces ivory. 2. Add status to see who is online. 3. Allow to make friends so that it's easy to find people from friends list. 4. Provide SEARCH option to find people by country/language/gender/name/user id. 5. Unable to scroll leaderboard from my position. 6. Head to head statistics should be available against any particular player. 7. Can add BLITZ option also which can have different timers.

Found out about this through a post about top rated chess apps. Glad I found it. Still new to it but it fits my correspondence chess needs perfectly.

Little bit more confusing with update but it is much better and helping set up games. Would be great if all games could be exported as a pgn file so that games could be looked at with other software. Highly recommended.

Could be better, if all or selected played games are exported to mail in one go. One game showed me check mate but there were more possible moves left. No automatic draw feature in case of 3 moves repetition and 50 moves of non capturing a piece or with draw materials. Add themes with mild colors. Wrong notifications received. Many times sound is not working (my phone sound sys is checked). Will give you 5***** if these are rectified.

This app got be back into chess a year ago or more and I'm thankful for it. Some interface improvements could be added (should auto-refresh when opening the app, better list of friends, board colour schemes could look better, etc.). Seems the developers have slowed down, but it's still the best correspondence chess interface on android.

Games still continue to disappear. I have two timeout losses because of this problem. Another game just disappeared from my device and in a few hours my opponent can declare victory. Is this problem going to be fixed any time soon?

I really like the app - simple interface, you can play a very large number of games at the same time and the ranking system is good. It crashes sometimes (but quick to recover), doesn't recognize all draw situations and could have extra features (already mentioned by others). Then I'd give it a 5 :)

Originally the first iteration was better, I remember the controls were place near bottom, thats where its easiest and most convenient. Maybe let user specify where they want controls lay out. Bottom, top, left or right. The developers dont play chess, so dont know the inconvenience.

App should have a way of detecting players using chess engines in the background. Then delete their rating and let the community know those players use engines

It would be a 5 if there was a function that allowed forced draws by the 3 times repeated pattern rule or the 50 move rule. Those don't often become issues but when they do it's frustrating enough to bump this otherwise amazing app down from a perfect score. The app could also benefit from some polish like customizable board colors or pieces but overall it's great.

1. Auto draw option while holding only king is not applicable. Pls set auto draw after 50 moves on same. 2. Three times repeated move should be draw automatically. 3. Need some mlid color option in board screen. 4. Pls rectify above points , so that I will rate 5 for app.

The last major update as long time ago, the buttons still sit in front of the board(screen) and still we can't use the app on 2 devices without loging out. Not very good at all. Besides this seems pretty good app!

It might be nice to have a single player function where you can train or analyze past games so that you may improve yourself... Or have a tool that tells you the biggest mistakes you made, or those that your opponents made (after each game is over)

Very smooth and intuitive. Doesn't get in your way, just lets you play. One tiny little suggestion: It'd be cool to have at hand a brief explanation of the FIDE rating system, if that is indeed what is used. Extremely well done!

No doubt it is one of the best multiplayer chess apps. But now there are several draw backs: (1) App is not updated for about 2 years now (2) Developer does not respond to support requests in forum (3) on some devices it has serious problem with WiFi connections causing lot of frustration (4) it is not cross platform or on web, you can't simply make a move when you are on desktop.

Major bug, time elapsed claims possible! Please fix this problem. If someone change their clock forward after making moves they can claim victory! This is terrible please fix this. I lost many games by cheaters now.
