I really want to try this game and see what it has but every time I finish the cutscene I get an error talking about my internet even though I’m making this from the same connection. Which is a shame because this game looks like it has really good graphics. But since I can’t play it I can’t give it more than two stars. -CarelessCaiden 2⭐️

It used to be my son’s favorite chess game, but now it says there is no internet even when tests say it is working fine. I even deleted and reinstalled the app but the problem persists. Please update the app.

I am currently trialing the $18/year game pass. So I let my daughter start a game. And then I tried to start a separate game. And it’s asking me to pay again. If $18/year does not get me three save slots it’s a joke. Or if this is a bug, it should have been fixed by now, lots of reviews mention the buggy and confusing in-all purchase experience from several years ago. Does not seem like good value.

Not sure if it helps in Blitz games or if the skills acquired are directly applicable, Knight Runner remains entertaining and even squeezes interesting facts about chess in its gameplay. Good to play just before a game to get pumped up for the challenge ahead.

Paid for the lifetime Game pass but it doesn’t do anything and I keep getting promoted to buy it again which again doesn’t work.
