Chess!

Very good idea, to combine 3D pieces and environments with a very active playerbase. Still a little rough around the edges with lack of customization options, and mainly the lack of any ability to see Lichess ratings or analysis within the game itself. I look forward to seeing the improvements for this very ambitious project.

Brilliant game, wining or losing!!

Good 3d experience ..

amazing game

Most top reviews here seem to be negative and from years ago, to the point I didn't buy this for a long time, even though it was exactly what I've been looking for. So I feel obliged to say that... It works now, it's great and worth its price. Perfect for training to play chess over-the-board a bit, as most 3D chess games, but the Lichess integration is the real killer feature here, hard to compete with that, so this is the one I'll stick to. It does... crash and close sometimes, which seems to happen with other users in the discussion board. That should be fixed ASAP. But for now I can simply reopen and continue the match, I can even continue on Lichess while the game reloads, so it's not the end of the world. Still prevents me from giving this anything above 3/5, though. Since it's based on Lichess I can't help but wish this game itself was a bit more "open" too. Not necessarily open source but maybe allowing some way to import custom scenes and boards, that would make it the ultimate 3D chess game, would become 5/5 even with bugs.

complete trash

Requires you to log into lichess.org in order to play. Can't play offline. The game seeks to create a rich graphical experience, but in the end it often causes the game to crash. When the game doesn't crash, the problem is there are light glares coming off the board and pieces that make it difficult to figure out what some pieces are supposed to be (queen? king? bishop?). Performance is seriously held back by the unnecessarily high graphics quality. The 'photo-realistic' graphics cause more problems than they solve. When you are playing, the game is rendering tons of stuff in the background that has nothing to do with the game. I'm running a 3080ti and at high graphics settings, I'm getting about 67fps for a game that essentially has static pieces with no animations going on. How does that make any sense from a development perspective?! It's chess. Keep the UI and graphics simple. Also, the system requirements don't disclose you need to create a lichess.org account to play (saying that it 'integrates' is highly ambiguous).

这应该是这款国际象棋软件第一篇中文评论： 这款国际象棋软件我使用下来的感觉很不错，特别是和LiCHESS网页版的联动特别棒！这样一来虽然该软件目前不支持中文，但LiCHESS可以调出中文，所以影响并不是太大。软件还内置的多个场景和不同的棋子造型，而且最近还更新了圣诞场景，感觉以后这块也会加入更多内容。同时我也很期待明年的shogi! 这款游戏，盲猜会不会和lishogi联动？最后祝这款游戏能带给更多国象爱好者快乐和温暖。

A very complete chess program. AI games, online games, and over 3 million puzzles. You can also get AI analysis of the games you play online to improve your play.

Best affordable Graphic Interface integrated in Lichess. Waiting for long... and here it is!
