SocialChess • Online Chess for Pc

A really good chess engine with a lot of features to it. You can tell that the creator of the app cares about chess a lot and has built the app around what most advanced players want. Things that I love are the SUBMIT button after every move. It’s annoying at first since you’re not used to it, but once you do, it’ll save your victory infinitely more times than it’ll cost you it. If it really bothers you, then you can turn it off in the Options menu, but I don’t recommend it. Also, there are no ads of any kind and no submitting personal information except run of the mill login info. He gets his support from players buying the PREMIUM version of the app, but the free has plenty of features as well. Somethings that I don’t like are if you start a SLOW game (which takes days to play), you have to wait at least 12 hours to cancel a game. Lame. Also, you can move one move ahead of time while your opponent is thinking (the piece won’t actually move until your opponent moves), but once you do there’s no undoing it unless you premove another piece. That’s a fairly new feature though so perhaps there is a way that I’m not aware of. Premove is still an awesome feature though! Just be sure. Overall, the app has got to be one of the best you can get. I’ve been using it for years now and it’s only getting more addicting.

I haven't played them all, so I can't rightly call it the best, but of the ones I have, it's definitely tops. All the clean interface & features of CWF but the rating system, board flip and autoloading of active moves put it above the rest. Some have more features but are clunky, ugly or just annoying to use (looking at you chess time.) Would like to see vs. a particularly player stats at some point, maybe a game time function. The yearly fee for 6+ games is kind of a drag, but thats really the only drawback here. But you pay a little and you get a much better app. Stop fighting with newtoy/zynga tech support and get this app. Update: Woa, whadyou guys do, add those features while I was writing that review? Now that's some service. If I could add a sixth star I would.

This is such an easy app to rate. First of all there is no visual clutter. Not just with no ads, but also the program itself is clean and not distracting. Always works as advertised keeping your attention on only one thing, playing great games of chess. Just today I wrote in a suggestion and within minutes my email greeted me with a pleasant response from the developer. Just out of curiosity, I looked at the version history, and this app has a continuous track record of keeping up to date. This really is the way an app should be. Great job, keep up the good work!

I've been playing this app for years now. I have absolutely no complaints. I love the newer features of being able to see the history of wins/losses you have with any particular player. And support is amazing! Always a quick reply that gets immediate resolution. I've never had to reach out due to a problem with the app, but a couple other 'user error' issues 🙃 I think it's the owner/developer himself who responds too, so you know you've forgot someone on the other end who knows their stuff!
