What Steam players say

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 pl…5 found this helpful

Amazing value for money, must buy1 found this helpful
Great chess game for beginners, includes lessons and puzzles to start your journey. Great price! Post-match game analysis is great tool to pinpoint where your moves were sub-optimal while learning what can be improved. I like this game even more with every detail I discover.1 found this helpful
As someone who didn’t even know how all the pieces moved, I have to say that I’m really loving this game. I had never played chess before, but I wanted to learn, so I decided to give Chess Kingdom a try. The game explains everything in a very detailed but easy-to-understand way, with clear examples and helpful explanations. You can play against CPUs of different skill levels, and there is even an AI assistant you can talk to while you play. The visuals are really pleasant, and the music creates a great atmosphere during the matches. It’s honestly impressive to think that all of this was made by a single developer. You can really tell how much work and care went into it. I genuinely wish more people knew about this game and gave it a chance. For such an affordable game, it offers an incredible amount of content and effort. Thank you for making it!! I’m having a great time learning chess with it!!!
