Overwhelming ad avalanche . In response to the developer reply and do clarify: every time you do something you get a preview of a game advertisement, lasting ca 10 s then the fast forward button appears, upon pressing it moves to a simulation/mini game for another car 10 s, then you have to push another button and you are shown the game title again, and after further delay you can finally close the 'ad'. This takes an estimated 30 s total, way too long. This was not before. Only with new install

We're sorry for your ad experience. Popup ad appears when starting, ending or coming back to a game so that it doesn't disrupt play and is skippable after 5-10 seconds with fast forward/X/Close. Unfortunately ad networks control ad behaviour and may show them in 2 or 3 parts. Please report bad ads to [email protected]. Paid version has no ads

The ads have become so frustrating recently. The devs insist the ads only open before or after a game. But I get an ad almost every time I reopen the app to continue my game, which is certainly disruptive if I'm on the go and want to open the app and make a quick move. Ads can only be skipped after a button appears in 10-15 seconds, which is actually A LOT of time. I'm tired of tolerating these pushy, mind-numbing ads. You can pay to remove ads for $5, but you get no extra features.

We're sorry for your ad experience. Popup ad appears before/after a game or on reopening the app so that it doesn't disrupt play. It is skippable after 5-10 seconds with fast forward/X/Close which is very short compared to a game but unfortunately can't suit all play patterns. Ads let us give our apps away for free. Paid version has no ads.

It's very absorbing, and engaging when you're playing, literally like a live game when playing against the PC. You can also play against real players, it is optional. It's one of the better chess games, out here, in these Apps Streets! Drawback, if you quit (choosing resign/draw match) in the middle of a game, they consider it a 100% and 50% lost (on this, check the game status). This is a bit much for resigning, draw is ok with 50% lost, but resigning, they should just void that game. ✌🏾🤭

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad you're enjoying the app! For options when quitting an offline match against the computer, please use your device "back" button and choose from pause, resign, draw and abandon match. Players can also abandon online games rather than just leaving them hanging.
