I am happy to see this this app because it is good to teach to chess to everyone in English language. I downloaded this app because I have seen 4 time again - again rating and I impressed by this rating but my mind occurred doubt but when I see by youtube about this app I really so much got happy. So, I downloaded this app to learn chess . But one problem is that this app upgradation cost is high.

We're glad you're enjoying playing and improving your chess skills on ChessKid! Gold membership can be a great option to practice with Lessons, Puzzles and more, but it will always be free to play chess with other players around the world. :)

uninstalling. The latest update that forces animations with distracting movement and sounds is intolerable. Used to like it before.

We're sorry to hear you're having difficulty adjusting the sounds, Jefferey. Here's how to mute them! Log into your account from the ChessKid.com website and click on the "Settings" wheel next to your profile picture. Next, in the area that says "Sounds", toggle that button to "Off", and then click "Save" at the bottom of the page :)

We couldn't play two players and have the game synced to each other because every time we added one the other one got kicked off or it got really laggy
