I would be happy for your feedback if you could play a game using my new Chess app. In this beta-mode you can only play with the white pieces although you can choose any level from 1 -15. I may have created a monster since I can’t even beat it on the easiest level! If you can do better and beat Glide then you can add your name to the Hall of Fame - good luck!. > **[Chess](https://playchess.ch)** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/2/725d136947b0a0d1be6e6757a4e1ead286241002.png) Thank you for taking the time, Simon. PS. it will work on mobile but it’s easier to view on desktop. ---

Cool! Don’t like how you have to sign in just to play chess though, maybe make it so we don’t need to sign in but can’t get on the Hall of Fame if we aren’t logged in (or it can still add us but make us anonymous). Also can you move this to #Project Showcase? ---

Wow, nice project! Let’s make a 2v2 together! ---

Nice work! Not sure if I won or not since it flashed “error” on the screen in red 🙂 PS…I was white. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/2/029824c3e9f94a0ca5e85eb21fb05fbc4e0732b3.png) ---

Simon - the submit move button shouldn’t disappear; maybe grey it out so the user knows to make a move and once they do then the submit button is active. Great job. ---

Thanks… nice suggestion. So play with the condition to execute the workflow vs. the button visibility… Update: There is no visibility condition for the button. Only the condition for executing the workflow… so not sure how to prevent the button disappearing… unless I have a another button in the block that has no action and has opposite button visibility and is perhaps not colored… I will try that. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/c/4cf48302c2f60d208f122c54f8c286f353efdd73.png) ---

Thanks Matt… sorry about that. Tbh the program can be a little unstable due to the API calls and the giant board custom AI component. Sometimes you have to refresh the page and/or go back a move… but 99% of the time it is fine. I have suspicion that waiting a second or 2 before submitting a move makes a difference too.. to allow the internal computed columns to catch up. ---

lol… nice invitation thanks. I think I’m due a break after crafting this one for a while at least! ---

Wow… I have just checked your board. So you managed a checkmate! I’m really impressed. I thought I had created a solid trigger for the white win scenario. I will fix . ---

I just gave it a go, and all I get is a blank board. Clicking on the “New Game” button doesn’t appear to do anything. This is what I see: ![CleanShot 2025-04-01 at 23.03.24@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/b/4b0218fb75f7773c0196c16ea7b50a9afc5219c2.png) ---

Oh - sometimes the site needs to be reloaded to force the computed columns and the AI components to reset and behave. In general you tap the start square (yellow highlight appears) and then the destination square (yellow disc appears). If it’s a valid move then the ‘submit’ button appears.
