Great Little Chess App. I've enjoyed it for years. The look or skins are great IMO. Functionality and options are perfect for me. I'm an ok player just getting back into the game and I think this app definitely helps hone my skills. Just really wish I could pay the dev to get an add free version. ** Wow, Super Thank you for the fast response in just a couple of hours. I'll upgrade asap. 👍

Thank you for your feedback. For the ad free version, please search "AI Factory Chess Pro" in the app store. It installs as a separate app and you can export stats (from Statistics screen) + any saved games (from Load Saved Games screen) in free version and import them to the paid version to carry over progress.

This is a good chess game, you can gradually improve the quality of your game by moving through the difficulty levels. At level 12 the game knows it's openings, is strong in the middle game but is beatable in the end game. You can save your games for future review. However the infiltration of ads that will not close, now exists when you replay a game that you saved, and it's becoming very difficult to actually replay the game.

We're sorry you're seeing a problem with ads. App has a popup ad between games (so it doesn't disrupt play) skippable after 5-10 seconds with fast forward/X/Close. If fast forward disappears, tap where it was. Ad networks control ads and they may appear in 2 parts. Please report any problem cases to support@aifactory.co.uk. Paid version has no ads.

The game does mostly what you want it to do. Reason for the low rating is because of the ads. When I launch the app, then press play game, a fullscreen ad plays before I can make a single move. And whenever you are playing a match, you constantly have animated ads playing at the top of the screen, which can often times lag the game. Another fullscreen ad plays after every match. Don't put triggers for ads *before* players can even play the game. That's just bad, and will ruin your game.

Sorry for your experience. We haven't had any other reports of banner ads causing the game to lag and animation is controlled by ad networks, not us. Popup ad is outside of games so it doesn't disrupt play and is skippable after 5 seconds with fast forward/X/Close. Please report bad ads to support@aifactory.co.uk. Paid version has no ads.
