Simlpy chess is a game that passes narrowly in my list of the worst chess games but these not as far as I recomande serves the multi mode and better than some games see chess site and also the online mode with these friends but good the parties Buger but it's t playable there are also the languages there is Russian and Polish and Finnish but not French and in addition to the game and released in 2015 so the game must not have any bug unfortunately if there are bugs see a lot of bug it's outrageous to places of make a paid content they could have improved the games but no it's been a few years since the game and released but it had no improvement I recomande not this game for all the reasons I give. Thank you for taking note of my post. Ciao bye Cimer

The Best Chess Game I've ever played:). In This review we will consider the following things: DIFFICULTY, MODES, GRAPHICS, SOUNDTRACK and ACHIEVEMENTS. Simply chess? Uy... You Do Not want to know if it is simple or not... DIFFICULTY: There are many levels of difficulty, so you will hardly be bored if you are an expert. From level 1 to 100... But There is a very nice button who says "Infinity!" I wonder what it will be: v 10/10 MODES: Online and offline mode and local multiplayer game 11/10 GRAPHICS: You can change from 2D to 3D and vice versa; In addition to changing the colors of the board and the pieces. 10/10 Ideal If you want to play a 3D chess:) SOUNDTRACK: Do you like the piano? Heavy Meta and Hard Rock, Tete >: v The Soundtrack I have it in 0% ACHIEVEMENTS: Includes achievements. 100% free, only there are ads. And What do these ads do? Blue Line SPAM. So pay to delete ads. 100% Free? Yes, you can play it without any problem.
