Chess at ICC, play & learn App Reviews

I have been an ICC member since the late 90s. ICC is the original and the best site for serious players. Americas top players have earned their spurs on ICC. Need I say more?

This application is reliable, more intuitive than previous versions and easier on the eyes.

app does work nicely and it have features to enjoy such as chess fm, relays and playing pool games. All work just fine and stable, the app design is very nice looking.

Icc is the leading online group by far. I use the trainer a lot but some problems could be improved by having feedback or way to inform author of error.

Reducing rating to 3 stars. None of the below have been addressed in new release, not even the simplest fixes. And two additional bugs: 1) Videos time out at one hour WHILE WATCHING. 2) Youve mangled the connection of Rooms to channels -- no channel number reference AND the names are changed; text display in Rooms is also mangled for longish lines and n. Good product. 1 bug and 3 improvements. Bug(s): TrainingBot cannot be examined back to the starting position. The last "back" jumps to a regular game starting position instead of the training one. And then the whole training interface seems to get confused, jumping back to the 32-piece starting position at the first tap in the next training problem. Have to Abort and reselect Training. Improvement 1: Need to see time signature on games in the list for Watch. Improvement 2: Make sound volume controllable rather than tied to the all-or-nothing alarm system. Improvement 3: Make tournaments playable.

ICC is great and app works well for playing but it should have an examine mode where you can mexamine with an opponent and play out different lines

Works very well!

Add option to disable move animation!! Its killing me in blitz... Its like playing every game with a 20 second handicap. Please also add move sound support for the iPad. 5 stars if you fix the above...

A clean looking app hampered by a strange bug that makes it impossible sometimes to look for another game after you already played one. Just frustrating enough to make me look elsewhere for playing rated chess, which is a shame since I used to play on ICC a lot about 15 years ago. But these days it just feels dead.

Im glad I survived to enjoy chess on Internet. This app is great for occasional online blitz (although, of course, it doesnt have all the features of the program on real computers). Videos and broadcasts of big time tournaments are also much appreciated.

Awesome chess app

ICC is the best place to play chess online. Watch top GMs play blitz anytime, anywhere. Send messages on the server. Review your game history on the go. Follow major chess tournaments.

I use this almost daily. It is a great way to watch games on the Internet and playing longer time control games--using the confirm move option. It still has some minor quirks, but it is very useable and useful!

Cant ask for a specific game and see others at same time. Etc.

ICC is the 1. e4 of chess on the net since 1995.

Thank you for the update. I reported a problem with some videos and they were promptly fixed. Excellent site!

Its a good app that still needs some work to make it an excellent app. If you like playing in tournaments you find you have to do most of the heavy lifting yourself, such as typing i "/match so-and-so " for each round. Also communicating with fellow players is something of a pain as well. Still, I have high hopes for this app in the future.

App keeps crashing/freezing up on IPAD...what gives ICC fix it!

1.Needs to allow me to challenge more than one potential opponent at a time. 2. Also, should allow me to see and use the challenge screen and seek a game at the same time...not do one or the other. 3. Should message me if an opponent has censored me or declined a match. 4. Show rated and unrated offers in different colors. Keep up the good work!

The ICC is doing a great job with this app, super cool features. Easy to use. A lot of fun.
