In videos it's showing the description with the word "&quot" which I'm sure is a computer thing that's not getting translated.  It shows up in "Playing for Equality as Black 2"  Take a look at that video description and you'll see what I mean.

I'm sure it's too late for this to happen any time soon.  But I would die for an openings explorer in this app!

Home Page Settings link bug

  • confirm inability to access settings menu from home page more than once, however, settings menu can be accessed from any game board (including any online game, computer game or tactic trainer board through the icon that looks like three vertical dot-dashes) even after settings link on home page no longer functions

Online Chess

  • After making a move it always returns to the game list, even if settings has "Go to [edit] next ready game" selected

Just a suggestion:  When you go to play online it's just a blank white screen and a link to "New Game" in the upper right.  I think it would be nicer to have the title "Current Games" even when there are not current games, just so the user knows there's no error and the screen is supposed to be mostly blank.

Just a suggestion:  On the "Setup Position" screen, maybe consider putting the controls above, not below, the board.  It's currently VERY easy to accidentally hit the Home or Online buttons on the "dock" when you're trying to make it Black to move or select one of the Black pieces.

What's more, in my humble opinion, the little boards (controls for clearing the board & jumping to the start position) currently at far right and the black/white dots for selecting whose move it is, currently at far left, should change places.  The boards should be on the far left and the dots on the far right.

That way, reading the controls from left to right would reflect the natural order of tasks required to set up a position.

(One could argue that it doesn't matter WHEN you decide whose move it is, but clearing the board sure as heck isn't going to be the final step.)

thank you all! all bugs have been noted.

as an FYI, no major changes or even minor functionality changes will make it into the first real app.

Same major bug as last 2 versions: I cannot make any moves in online game. Can't even select a piece to move. (Anyone else experience this?)

There are no captured pieces shown below board.

It always shows the online games (and finished games) with white on bottom of board even when you're playing as black.


we now know why this is and will fix it soon! thank you.

I seems that there is a maximun number of games. Yesterday I had 30 waiting games now about 5 and I´m playing about 35 games. In this conditions I can not make and open challenge in my iphone (it says "Error Too many games waiting" this takes place not only with 30 waiting games but also now when I have only 5 waiting) but in both conditions (5,30 waiting games) I do can accept other user open challenge (as I have just done)


there are limits on how many open challenges you can create. also, there a limits on being able to create new games when you haven't moved in your existing games (to encourage people to play their existing games instead of just ignoring games)
