This is the best chess app I’ve seen in years!
Nov 23, 2020 Drop everything and get this app, it is hands down the most fun you’ll ever have using a chess app. First of all, the skill builders are not only fast-paced action fun, they are completely original, you’ve never seen anything like these and - - they will turbocharge your chess. Once you play them and see how great they are you’ll be scratching your head wondering why in the world other chess platforms don’t use Maurice’s super training tools. Maurice’s interactive reactions and the active feel of the app are a breath of fresh air, and it is smooth, perfectly responsive and snappy.more -
Dec 16, 2020 If you are a beginner like me. This is a great app if you want to learn how to play. I definitely learned a lot and still learning. -
Insightful and hilarious
Jan 15, 2021 I’ve gone through many chess apps. Maurice is unusual in his ability to truly distill the essence of chess principles into a condensed format. Even if you’re a moderate to advanced player, there is something of value here. He is also undeniably funny.more -
Jan 14, 2021 Maurice Ashley's Developer did a great job with this app! Teaches The basics of chess, some advanced things and chess with more to come per Maurice Ashley apparently. There are all kinds of puzzles inside of this app with friendly trash talking or humorous comments from Maurice Ashley voiced on the puzzles. There are three different levels of hardness to play chess against the built-in chess engine. That is easy medium and hard. Overall the graphics are really nice it is fun to play with!more -
Been Waiting ...Super Grateful
Nov 30, 2020 So Glad Maurice has resurfaced with an App even cooler than before! The skill builders the trash talk and the encouragement in his voice makes you feel connected to the game and it’s infinite possibilities. Maurice so glad this app is here!more

What’s Groovy
After using this program for some time, I find the training to be very slow on my older moto x phone. It takes a long time for the moves on the board to catch up with the audio which is always ahead. This makes the training hard to follow. Also hitting pause or back key to go exit a tutorial takes almost half a minute to respond which is unacceptable. I'll give it 5 stars if these issues are fixed. No other concerns at this time.
