Latest reviews of Chess - Full Version app for iPhone and iPad
Nice app we need this..
Im giving 5 stars cause this app offers *plenty* of puzzles to solve, unlike the other apps for chess Ive tested before. You can also select from up to 7 different difficulty levels when facing the AI, or choose to play vs a human player. Theres an option for saving the matches in case youre gonna play them in a later time.
I downloaded this for the massive numbers of chess puzzles. Im just getting back into chess so these are going to prove very helpful! My only suggestion is Id like for them to tell you what type of puzzle they are, e.g. "Mate in 2"
Bought this game to be able to play using bluetooth. After a dozen or so moves, the game exits bluetooth and you loose the game. Epic fail on the part of the devs. If they fix this, I would change my rating. Otherwise, this app is garbage.
Its nice that it has lots of puzzles, but as others have pointed out it doesnt really tell you the best solution, or how many moves to win. The puzzles have many different ways to win. When I compared to HIARCS, it picked out a better solution. It does have a chess engine to show hints for the best move. It lets you play through variations, which a lot of other puzzles dont do. iPad version needs to have a landscape variation.
