Players praise Just Chess for its elegant minimalist design that avoids overwhelming options while delivering a comprehensive feature set including built-in engines, over 4 million puzzles, and Lichess integration at a reasonable price. The main complaints center on requiring online login for puzzle access despite offline claims, and requests for more advanced features like customizable UCI engine settings, engine profiles, and a career mode system.

By far the best on steam. By. Far. Built in engine vs computer. Puzzle Arena (over 4 Million puzzles with difficulties) Engine vs Engine (check my guide for how to in words from creator) to watch toughest A.I.'s battle it out. Player vs Player of course -And my personal fav feature- Lichess Integration! It is amazing just HOW MUCH this Chess Application offers for the price. I have already recommended it to the few chess friends i have. Just Chess. is so much more than Just Chess. It is a full toolkit of chess and it is easily in my top 15 purchases on steam.

Fantastic start with the features and game so far ! Here's my list of recommendations. 1- Having the UCI engine settings available will be amazing ! Having custom presets (maybe) for engines like rodent IV with it's personalities would be more that great ! 2- Engine profiles. Every engine that we add can be picked from a list with maybe a custom UCI profile as well. 3-A custom career mode (where you earn points (after elo) which you can use to challenge stronger pre-set engines/or same engine with different strength. (you set the amount of uci engines in the career and number of games/tournaments) 4-Puzzles should NOT be tied to any online account. You shouldn't have to login to anything to access them. Even tho you claim they work "offline" they don't as I need to login. You can download the lichess csv puzzle archive (it's way more than 4 mil now) and use that in the custom interface you have, make it in a separate menu, not lichess) look at github for "better tactics" chess puzzles for extra functionality (advanced) 5-Puzzle theme "Single/multiple/random Hidden selection" Have a hidden selection system for themes if hidden is activated it auto selects one theme. If multiple…
