------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
Chess is one of those games I always wished I enjoyed, but its commitment to beauty, elegance, and perfect balance always turned me away. Really Bad Chess removes these boring restrictions and flips chess on its head.
As much as random pieces change the game in some ways, I was really surprised to notice how much the game remains the same, and how powerful some pieces are — you've never truly struggled against a pawn until you've struggled against a pawn in the back row.
For chess pros, Really Bad Chess will give you a new type of challenge — the pieces & the moves are the same, but you'll have to throw out your openings and your understanding of normal patterns of play.
For novice chess players (like most of us), Really Bad Chess greatly opens up the game. Instead of starting by studying openings, in your first games you'll get to discover the joy (and challenge!) of learning how to checkmate.
I hope you have as much fun with Really Bad Chess as much as I did making it.

Skhand01,
Interesting but has bugs
Very different than regular chess. Especially challenging to deal with lots of knights and bishops. New way to think about chess. Note if you get in a situation where your best move keeps getting countered with the same move the game will let that garbage go on forever and never call it a draw. Only way to get out is to make a bad move, even a game losing move. I’ve even had a situation where I was in check and only had one possible move and the computer had numerous possible moves but kept making the same one. This will go on literally forever leaving you no choice but to terminate the game. Developer needs to fix that nonsense.

Frustrating Design Issues
I am writing this hoping the developer may considers either changing this or adding an option for the users.
The concepts of Really Bad Chess is very interesting. It lets you play positions which are often impossible in regular chess or even in chess 960. Sometimes perhaps the position is conceivable but you will never see it in either a match or a chess puzzle. Unfortunately there are some serious problems with the app presentation and design.
A very serious flaw in the app for me is that when the AI moves their pieces the pieces it moves appear at their destination instantly. It is very frustrating to have to look over the entire board for 1-3 seconds to identify what piece was moved and to what square. If you focus your mind at the board and search for moves this is incredibly frustrating.
Another big problem is that the black and the white pieces have a thick white outline which makes it difficult to analyze the board. At minimum it makes it confusing and uncomfortable. Could you either add an option to not have the white outline, or just use standard widely used chess fonts that are in the free domain?
I could think of many other ways Very Bad Chess could be improved but those 2 are the biggest issues.

Flawed Conceptually
This game regularly makes boards that are impossible to win, against ai that seemingly knows it every time it happens. Even if you have “better” pieces due to rank it could just put them in unlucky places. This happens all of the time. There’s a reason chess has set pieces- because checkmate can be handed to you on a platter in this game. However- in this game the higher your rank is the better pieces the ai has- meaning it tends to give the ai these impossible boards unless you purposely keep your rank low (and what’s the fun in that). You’ll sit there wanting to chuck your phone across the room because you went from rank 70 to 50 seven times because the ai got lucky with it’s placements. 2 stars because if you’re lucky you can get very far into the rank before falling again, and it IS fun when it’s rigged against you.
Trudeau0904,
Super fun, but…
There are a couple of small things I’d like to see. First, A.I to be a little easier. A couple of good games and I feel like I’m playing pros. Secondly, and lastly, the colors of the boards, themes, need to be easier to see. You can’t see the colors you’re choosing due to the menu list.
These are the only two complaints I have… besides this, it puts a SUPER FUN twist on a regular game. Great game, little changes that are fairly minor.

sistahK,
Great game but the pieces are in the wrong places…
Hi so, this game is overall great but the main error with it is that the pieces are in the wrong places .example: on one of my games there were 4 knights instead of two. And 6 bishops like, whaaaaaat??? Overall good game but please fix the piece numbers! :) and the pawns were in the BACK and the knights were in the FRONT….. but one more thing. When the other “player” makes a move, and they don’t capture my king it is like “”hahaha! Pitiful. I made my rook move six squares up and I WON!!!! “Like that . ITS NOT EVEN CHECKMATE!!!! It’s super tedious so developers please read this and fix the issues. PS sorry if I spelled pitiful wrong I’m in 4th grade 😓.
kar8tchris,
Really enjoy this game
Except that it tells you "don't be afraid to undo" when you start the game, but you can't undo the last move if you get mated. I lost my daily streak because of that. It wouldn't be a problem if you didn't only get two attempts at it. For a game that's supposed to be good for chess beginners, it sure doesn't like beginners to do well. You can also only undo the last move? I can understand that but like I said, the game itself says "great, this game is perfect for you" when you say you're not good at chess at the beginning. Not that good if you can't fix your mistakes, is it?

Impossible to win, as other reviewers say
Sorry, but the point of games is to be able to win. At least once. If the boards are set up with bishops across the entire first row for the computer, how could I possibly beat it? I liked it until it became impossible to win on ranked challenges.
Also, it would be cool to go second sometimes. I haven’t found a way to do that.
I have experienced such negative/hopeless feelings while playing and that only makes me want to delete the app because it becomes the opposite of fun. There are enough situations in the real world that make me feel negative/hopeless. Games are supposed to help take you away from those sentiments.

Cyclocolo,
Opponent started with 10 bishops. . . WTBleep
First off this game is exactly what I was looking for in a chess game. Clean, simple look with options to change easily. Fast gameplay with an undo and challenging.
Secondly I never realized how important pawns are since you’re lucky to get two. Sure five queens sounds great, but them grunts hold the fort.
Hard to take this game seriously which means losing is as fun as winning. When I cancel arcade this app is staying put.

Gr8Scot2,
Super fun!
Love the different take on the game. Don’t suggest it for folks wanting traditional chess. Do suggest it for a different take on chess though. Really enjoy the challenge of totally different set ups. I feel it does help with normal chess in doing analysis of situations. But this is DIFFERENT than normal chess. I really enjoy this!

Interesting concept but flawed gameplay
I was expecting random pieces mirrored for both sides. What I get instead is random pieces on each side. Instead of varying the skill of the computer it instead gives the computer better pieces and you worse pieces as your rank increases making anything above rank 80 just frustrating and not fun. I would love to see a mode with mirrored pieces to give the challenge of not using memorized openings but still equal chance to both sides.
