I bought it to learn chess, but I didn't know how to play, so I turned it off and watched a video explaining chess. I felt I understood and tried playing the game, but I lost because I forgot how to play chess.

Graphics are worse than browser games such as Lichess and the services the game provides are just lesser, there is not a single advantage to the game. Just use lichess.

Best chess game I was able to find on Steam. It’s very relaxing, has decent graphics, and offers nice chess piece customization. Definitely recommend.

Great game for passionate chess players. The challenges are exactly that, a "challenge." For those of you who enjoy casual board games this is for you.
