About this game

Checkmate is a modern chess mobile app with friendly design, classical music in the background and the excitement of discovering the nuances of this wonderful board game. We created a new version of this royal game, innovative and full of surprises.

In many languages it is called differently: Chess, Scacchi, शतरंज, Échecs, Xadrez, Szachy, Schach, Ajedrez, Шахматы, Satranç, チェス, 棋, الشطرنج. We have been playing this game for over 1500 years, and today it is played in almost 200 countries around the world - with new secrets still being discovered. People all over the world play millions of wars on a 64-field boards every day - you could say these are the real games of thrones. Chess conquered the world long ago and its popularity is growing constantly. We want to play our part in it!

Get rid of the obnoxious "Do you want to undo your last move?" pop up. It's the most ill timed, intrusive, unnecessary pop up you could possibly place. I just lost the game, get your goddamn pop up out of my face. On top of that, why do you hide the "undo" button at all? 90% of the time, the user knows immediately when they made a bad move, but they have to wait till the the computer takes a move before they can undo it. You're just stacking frustration upon frustration.

It's a great game, but it has bugs. The timer continues after I move, then I lose more time automatically during the transition from the opponents move to my move. I'm not sure if this is someone cheating or if it's lag from the opponent. edit: gave a one star now, the people just keep running my time out, and they are terrible players. I get stale mates after taking them down to just a queen and I have half my board, then I get -3 points. when I clearly have a checkmate.

I have paid for no ads. it's worth it. I have been playing for a while now and no matter the time finding a match is never more than a moment or two. as far as I can tell opponents are human as I had to turn off chats. much better game, although it did help run the clock on people that would rather type than pay attention. the game will dictate the match if you wish and will breakdown the game afterwards........♡
