Chess Kingdom

Better than Chess.com.

This is probably the best chess game on steam its not sloppy and it actually teaches u things (even the basics matter) but ill say this the AI is slow when u play chess games but its a 3 dollar game so i cant judge it too much to the developer (PLSS TRY TO FIX THE AI SPEED ITS SO FUN BUT THE THE AI JUST WANTS TO NOT RESPOND FOR THE WHOLE GAME ) 10/10

The good. There is a massive library of problems separated by theme and level of content. I have not seen this done so effectively in any other program, and I have used many. There are levels for every player beginner to master. Modern programs really need this feature. The ability to review and export games are also very welcome features. The bad. In the section introducing players to the game some solutions require making moves that would be losing moves. This happened in some of the introductory problems for forking. In some the solutions was moving a piece where it could be captured for nothing. At least one problem in the section on pins had multiple solutions but accepted only one. The so-so. The pieces, which I have not checked if the set can be changed, might make it difficult for people with weak eyesight. Typical Staunton style pieces or some other really standard type of pieces would be a welcome addition. I did not notice if UCI chess engines can be imported into the program. I did notice a couple of variants offered in the program. Adding some of the common ones like Shogi or Xiang Xi would require a lot of work, but there are many excellent variants that can be played on an 8x8 board with standard pieces. Some that I know are played online are Knight Relay Chess, Knightmate Chess, Recycle Chess, and Cylinder Chess. The rules for all of these variants can be found online. A welcome option would be to arrange AI opponents in ascending order of strength. Overall this is an excellent program, offering a lot for a minimal price. It is excellent value for the money. Additional comments: 1. The puzzles by skill rating is an excellent feature. 2. The developer is very active in the development of this program. Important issues are very quickly addressed. The developer wants to make the program all it can be.

I mean its chess so you cannot go wrong and chess lovers would enjoy it! But the achievement part makes it actually fun and addictive

love it, great job. I have fun playing with friends in online pvp

New game chess in steam and this great i play then only games chess even there good but is perfect

I've played many games on Steam and this is my first review. If you love chess, this is your game. There are puzzles, lessons, critiques, etc. The dev is very responsive and the game evolves. No, not chess, but the way it is presented. I am very impressed. Full disclosure: As a former IT and Finance guy, I have no financial interests in this game, but I am a fan. Well Done.

I thought i knew how to play chess but after playing this it turns out my knowledge is actually very limited. This game will teach me all the moves i had never even heard of and hopefully turn me into a chess master or at least someone who actually knows how to play and can give people a good game and defeat beginners like i was before i started playing this. Awesome chess game, really simple to use just fantastic!!!

I have trouble with the pieces, very difficult to distinghuish between the type of pieces. Wonder why there are no pieces that look like pieces in any normal chess book, but only very small pieces that look very much teh same pawn, queen, rook, king. And erelative much too small for the field. Makes playing chess very very very annoying. Chess Kingdom is more a toy, not a real chess game

i think this is the best chess game left on steam. For real.
