They added offline play vs bots, with a very nice practice mode too. But custom mode is still very limited, please make it possible for players to make a custom position where you can give yourself like 20 pawns advantage and maybe challenge the computer. In the current custom board setup, it just doesn't let you start the game if you have a "unrealistic" amount of a certain piece. I know it's not the proper amount of pieces, but it's for fun!

Please for the love of God, add the option to analyze imported games and get accuracy percentages and stuff like that...You can do the mentioned with games played on the platform, but there is no option to do so with imported ones. I waited for this update for so long, I really do not see why they do not add it, it is like they absolutely forgot about it...Please consider adding it in the future updates 🙏🙏, everything else is awesome!

It's good and FREE, but there are so many things to improve. Analysis board needs an UI overhaul for sure. I keep pressing random moves instead of arrow buttons. I'm also removing another star for constant performance issues and laggy clock. One match showed I had 10s left, then suddenly timeout. Annoying af. Glad it's free but I certainly wouldn't pay a penny for it.
