Had a lot of fun with this game over quite a few years but finally what beat me were the ads which became very annoying, they come up and run a long time before the game starts, they often don't close unless you install an additional game. You have to shut down the app and then restart it, but you may be penalized by having to play black the next game. The company says that they can't control the ads, well that's a shame. There must be a way of having ads without it being completely annoying.

Ads can be annoying, but our ad frequency is lower than most free apps. Popup ad outside of games is skippable after 5-10 seconds with >>/X/Close. If >> disappears, tap where it was. Ad networks control how to skip ads + may show them in 2 or 3 parts. Please report bad ads to support@aifactory.co.uk. Paid version has no ads for one-off low cost.

Nice graphics! Game engine is quick and responsive. Chess engine seems more balanced now from level 1 to 5; I'm able to win at level 5, and I'm rated about 1500 unofficially. The threat indicator visuals are nice idea but to slow to see when you move quick to be useful. I think card games are boring, that's why i play chess, so all your card games ads are wasted advertising on me.

Same feedback as everyone else. The app was top-notch for several years, but finally had to remove it because the ads have become excessive. I've seen the response to others complaining of the same thing. All I can say is, you may have less ads than most free apps, but that doesn't mean it's not excessive.

The vast majority of feedback is positive, giving the app a high Google Play rating, but we are aware that ads can be annoying. The app still has banner ads in-game and a popup ad before/after games. If you see more ads, please contact support@aifactory.co.uk. Paid version "AI Factory Chess Pro" has no ads for a one-time modest fee.
