Great app and really teaches you chess

This game has taught my kids (6 and 8) to play chess. They compete against each other as well as playing the live option to join the chess leagues.
Great app that teaches the traditional game!

Piece design confusing

Love the game idea and league
But is it possible the pieces can be slightly redesigned as we are finding the bishops , king and rooks fairly confusing in their design.
My son plays a fair bit of chess but it was confusing even for him
Other than that - brilliant - other tip would be a region ( as if two players are in different time Zones it might be good to know !)

Best chomper ,

Impressive app!
Great for kids and also people who love chess! Always people available to play in the live league which is rare on these types of chess apps.
