faris masabi
I don’t know game of chess or chatting and fraud or insulting between players i send several messages via email giving messages through games to support service I don’t see any action some players had ability to suspended my movements I can’t move until time finished certainly other player won I notified that in American and some Europe and India countries this is fair behavior for Those in charge of work and designers of the program, this is a clear failure and fraud, and some players move a soldier in a wrong way, and the program allows them to like that a soldier jumps on his table in front of him and kills it. There is a lot of cheating, but for specific groups and they may be employees of the program because this is work that cannot be done by ordinary people

Suggestion: Adding Arabic language support to your chess game

First of all, thank you for creating such a fantastic chess game! I’m really enjoying the experience and the gameplay.I am writing to suggest adding Arabic language support to the game. The Arab gaming community is huge and growing rapidly, and having a localized version would make the game much more accessible and appealing to millions of players in the region.Since chess has deep roots in Arab history, I’m sure many players would love to experience your game in their native language. If you need any help with testing the Arabic UI or checking the translations, I would be more than happy to assist!Thank you for your time and for listening to the community. Keep up the great work!

Developer Response
Thank you for this detailed feedback. Chess training tools and content in Arabic are among the top requests we receive at Chess.com, so we're working toward achieving this for the near future!

Losers who stopped playing in the middle of the game
03/07/2018

Sumaira arif
Game is awesome but I m so so so so really sick of time waster losers who left the game in the middle!! They really have no manners idiots. They lefts in the middle when they see they are loosing! Have to wait more then 5, 6 minutes then start auto resign for a minute! Rubbish. Even if u you write 100 words of rule and regulations nobody will follow. Please give them time limits for only 1 minute that's it. If they don't move in a minute then start auto-resign. And add bell icon so if it's getting longer we players hit the bell! Which should be so louder with vibration! Morons, they should play on the board not here online! Hope u would understand!

Developer Response
Thank you for your review, and we completely agree: stalling in games is very annoying and unsportsmanlike--that's why it's against the rules on Chess.com! A game will end early if a player leaves or disconnects; however, it is possible for a player to let time run out on purpose while he or she continues to view the game. We ask that you report this by tapping on the opponent's avatar so we can quickly take action in the form of restrictions or account closure.

“Great app, but lacks full Arabic language support”
20/04/2025

This app is truly excellent in terms of learning, gameplay, and analysis. However, it unfortunately lacks full Arabic language support. Many tutorials and menus remain in English, which makes it harder for Arabic-speaking users—especially beginners—to benefit from the app fully. I hope the developers take this seriously and implement full Arabic support. Chess is a global game, and Arabic should definitely be part of it.

Developer Response
Thank you for this detailed feedback. We will work to expand the translation of the menus in Arabic, and we also hope to offer chess Lessons in Arabic in the future.

Hi chess fans! Today's new version improves app quality, removing a couple of bugs that could cause the app to crash. We hope you enjoy it! Thank you.
