Ratings and Reviews
I like the game
After the recent update the app seems less buggy, but frankly I lost interest in the game so I didn’t test it much. Still enjoyable game, the app could still use some improvement (e.g. fast piece promotion, promote... etc). But I am not gonna be playing again.

Hey Tohiko, Thanks for the feedback and helping make the game better!
We have recently updated the game to fix any bugs and issues reported by users. This should eliminate any issues you were previously having in the game. If you're happy with the update, we would appreciate an updated review :)
Many thanks! Dan
Fun at first, but not for long.
On first impressions this game is great (if, like me, you enjoy poker and chess), but there are nagging problems with the game mechanic and some slickness issues with the app that make it a long-term disappointment. The blinds are set punishingly high (and they roll up too fast), so that you can’t really wait for a hand and have to push chips far too often with poor hands. This is compounded by the problem of having no chess rating to gauge your opponent by - this would inform how you play the poker element. Yes you can hope to get into some games cheaply to assess the opponent’s chess strength but it’s a risky strategy with such a short stack. With such a restricted piece set (whatever was in your hand plus a king and a pawn, so maximum five pieces plus those two) it’s almost impossible to come back from a piece deficit unless your opponent happens to be a total chess beginner: any 1500 Elo should be able to defend a whole piece advantage from where we start the chess portion. With leaderboards capped at 999m chips and the buy-ins capped at 5m, there’s nothing much to achieve once you make it past about 50m - it just becomes a grind. There may be a version of this game down the road that will be satisfying and balanced but this ain’t it. Deleting, sadly.

Hey! We'd just like to let you know, we've listened to your feedback and just released a complete overhaul of the app. If you're happy, please consider updating your review as we have worked really hard to make the game awesome :) We can't wait for you to try it! - Dan
Needs finishing touches
The bar slider for bets is terrible, you have to click right into the bottom corner for reasonable size bets which sometimes changes app on iphone which then crashes the game and you lose your chips. Change to either a vertical slider or at least add buttons to increase/decrease by 1 blind. As a core part of the game is betting this needs to be fixed. I don't understand why you're raking the pots? Even if you did want to rake them it's a bit ridiculous to do it when it's a split pot. Also, the game would benefit from topping up like in real poker so one person doesn't have 1k and the other 19k, would keep it flowing smoother. Other than this it's a great concept, just need to stop all the crashes but I'm sure it will be great soon.
