The 40 second auto-resign timer doesn't always work. I just had to wait over 9 minutes for an opponent to move before the game timed out. Also, it isn't enough time if the player has to leave the game temporarily. Today, I had to make a work phone call. I left the chess app for less than 40 seconds, yet my game still ended and I lost points. The player may need to answer a phone call, which has happened to me. 40-seconds is too short in these cases. Also, 40 seconds is far less than 15 minutes.

Hi. Each player has 20 seconds to make their first move when match starts. There is also 40 second auto-resign timer that starts counting if a player losses internet connection or they close the app. This is to respect opponent's time, so they don't have to wait for 15 minutes in case the player is not returning to the match. Best regards.

Why does a game about complex calculations come with ways to annoy your opponents in the middle of a game? The game has a cannon you can buy ammo for and shoot at your opponent. I don't want to play chess and get Jumpscared by an intercontinental ballistic missile. They've also got forced advertisements before every single match. If you want to play chess there are better apps

This game is decent. I think it could use some better involvement in UI and graphics, but it's chess, so it is what it is. The only thing Is that when I get ads to double down on items I've received, it starts to force download games and I can't stop it. It's horrible. I honestly would want an ad frre recompense for this. I'd even give it 5 stars if it wasn't for that.
