Chess for Android
Please strengthen the application by improving its strength. Also observed are some bugs. The prices do not move for 5 seconds despite placing them on different chess square. Coach is not warning about the errors while playing
This is the best of the chess apps that I've used. It focuses on the playing of the game without distractions, though there are many cosmetic options offered. To me the most carefully done feature is the ability to set the difficulty level precisely. I set it so that the cpu wins most of the time, but i win often enough to stay challenged. Hard, Average, and Easy just don't work for me any more. Also, the new enhancement where the cpu initiates its own moves is an improvement over my having had to force the cpu's move. .-- I'm not a good player, but I'm a better player because of this app. It keeps my aging brain exercised and still having interesting games. I have no reason not to give the authors five stars for their good work. Thanks to the team.
The training mode is superb. You can analyse yourself and then checkout for threats and suggestions with one touch. We can see what we missed in our analysis. Aesthetically very beautiful UI.
Overall it's the best system out there inn chess apps I'm learning a lot from this computer it's cool to set the elo rating ,I just set for 1600 and finally through conticontinued play I won and improved my rating myself.
This is a great game for beginners up to expert players. Gives various levels of challenges and gives you some great technical moves. I highly recommend this game. Still getting to know all of its capabilities.
I've been through quite a few before settling in on this one. Graphics are nice in detail with plenty of options. Great why to past time while out with the wifey. Good job.
It's a good chess game! I'm not a grandmaster so I can't comment on the hint lines or the evaluation but so far I'm enjoying my time with it. Ads are not intrusive.
I can't believe that such a great chess app is actually free! Really enjoy the ability to change the difficulty. Difficulty ranges from 800 to over 2000.
Mastersoft's "Chess" is the first time I've had someone or something aid me in the advancement of my Chess game. I recommend this game for any novice player, that wants to expand their Chess playing abilities. The coaching option is helping me develop chess strategies, and has giving me more knowledge on how to play the game of chess competitively.
It could use a confirm option so it is easier to play on a small screen, without producing an error from a mistype. Such as trying to castle, but, only moving one square over because your finger hit the wrong square. I hate the stupid virus ads at the bottom.
I've enjoyed this app, though I'm a lousy player. My game has improved slightly, and I think it's due to the program automatically increasing difficulty when I win. It's worked like a charm for this inexperienced player.
Overrated. Where is it saving my games? Player and app Elo set with mushy slidebar...either none or apx 1300. I won't be subscribing next time. Get Shredder or Droidfish! phedup
Fast, relentless game play. Great options. No annoying ads.
I'm returning to chess. Not really played since childhood and am finding this to be a great tool for reintroducing chess into my life.
On 13" Tablet it is awesome ..perfect 1/2 take back. It's got boards and piece sets galore which come up beautiful in HD
can't offer draw, can't resign , you have to play boring positions till mate or draw, no pgn tools,
Pop up ads are disruptive. Changes table design by itself sometimes at it's annoying to try to find the design again and again.
I had 5 queens on the board just toying with the king and was given a stalemate, draw...how do you figure?
I'm awful, but it's fun to see exactly how awful.
Nice features but not used all yet. Have not played higher levels but like opening variety and quick responses. It does not auto rotate to landscape which is a little inconvenient.
Fails signing in & nobody is online! why go to so much design work but in the end it's kinda useless!
I think its well worth a serious attempt at using it. Graphics were hard for me to get used to only cause it wasn't what I was used to seeing. However I found a setting I really like and it runs smooth on my phone. So far happy how the lower levels plays. I would give it a 5 stars if you could send saved games in PGN format to another device or email.
The new version now has animated ads on the bottom, plus a pop-over add that covers the entire board. The pop-over has such a tiny close button that I can't help but accidentally hit the ad. Too bad, this used to be my favorite chess app, now I'm uninstalling.

Definitely the cat's meow!!! This program is tough. If U R looking for a real challenge... look no further. It will reveal to U what your ELO rating truly is. U might not be as skilled as U thought!!! Decent graphics too.
The training mode is helpful and the engine is adaptable to many levels. The rating harassment is a bit of a bummer, but hey, it's free. What are you going to do?
Awesome
Best engine best graphics ideal for beginners and experienced players alike great animation and its not saturated with adds
Would give it five stars but for all the stuff around the boarder,its distracting other than that I am enjoying it
Tons of different graphics and colors. The "hint" button is not very decisive, as it changes its mind with each click.
...and I've DL'd numerous other chess apps. All the analysis, tactics training, and challenging play offered by many free chess websites, with none of the lag/kill pages. The simple, responsive UI (pieces move as directed; nary the unintentional, wtf move) is where this app really outshines the others.
The app is well done technically: rating, adjustable engine, hint,coaching, and many others. However I think the design of the skin motifs exaggerated the motifs. The pieces look annoying, confusing , irritating the eye, it takes efforts to distinguish the pieces. Most of the skin options rendered are exaggerated useless: those egyptian knights not one looks like the other... Insert some clear user friendly skins ,pieces design , warm , classy , wood colours , and I might purchase the full.
Really good chess app. As an intermediate standard player the coach isn't that helpful but the interface and differing levels are very good.
The look of this app is great, it's very polished and smooth to use with well designed and intuitive interface. Major flaw however is that you can't resign a game! So daft that I'm uninstalling it which is a shame. Also, doesn't rotate to landscape which would be much better on a tablet.
Beautiful Boards and Pieces to choose from easy game play . Realistic computer skill simulation. I was very impressed with this game. I am an average player but the last chess game I downloaded I played 85 games and never came close to beating the computer even set on novice. Thank you for creating a fun chess game for all levels of skill. Now my son is interested in playing.
Great.
I love the difference in sounds when a pawn is captured compared to when a took or a queen is captured. Beautiful! The graphics is nothing but excellent. I would give it four stars. You guys should try to add training lessons to it as well as create special classes for learning each of the pieces beginning from the small but potentiallypotentially dangerous pawn to the beautiful and all powerful queen. Thanks alot!
The ai is pretty good. The interface is nice. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
I need a magnifying glass to see the captured pieces. Taking back a move requires two button presses. Needs some user interface improvement
