Pretty good game!

This game is so well designed, hand tracking feature is very good and I love how you can link your Lichess account. I don't know if it's already a feature but I would reccommend adding a mixed realify feature so you see the surroundings with the chess board and play like that. That would be a very fun output. This game can easily cost about 5$, it's very good. If it keeps updating and making it better it can go for about 7-10$ as there already are many VR Chess games.

9/ 10 chess game

Very social game, most people are nice and talkative, some are serious and just want to play, overall game mechanic are good, rarely ever glitches. But most of all, the only reason it’s a 9/10 is because they need to add more online hub environments and lobbies to choose from. But still a very good game

Buggy but good

I got this to play with my brother and getting a game was easy, but the voice chat would stop about 30 seconds in. It would also be nice to have a option to play without the clock. It also wouldn't load in during rematch, as in I'd be sitting at the board after sending my brother an invite and he'd be unable to join...and then when we did get together it'd count me sitting at the board without a partner as a loss in my stats because I left. No piece was moved, no opponent sat across from me, but it still was a loss.
