Senior Chess
Free GameAbout Senior Chess
Senior Chess is a simple but strong chess program. No ads will be shown. If internet connection is available, the best move in endgame positions with at most five pieces will be found in an online table base. Internet connection will not be used for any other purpose. This treatment of certain endgames is interesting not only in real games but also in positions set up in edit mode or imported from fen files, available via the Options menu. Senior Chess supports both landscape and portrait orientations.
Anyone familiar with the rules of chess can adjust the play level arbitrarily so that both the human player and the Android device have a fair chance to win. This is realized by setting a suitable relative frequency (0 - 100%) of "odd moves" that the app will produce instead of normal, strong moves. This feature makes Senior Chess especially interesting if you play at a moderate level and don't want to lose every game. Even if you are an absolute beginner, you can win: just let 100% of all moves be weak ones, as demonstrated in http://youtu.be/bw408-vBQxw
Besides the promo video above, there is also a video that shows a game of Senior Chess, playing White, against a very popular Android app, playing Black. The strength of the latter was set at its maximum level, which is about 20 s per move. Senior Chess was also given 20 s for each move in this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZkAmr9a8qI
After opening a game from a file, an animation of the game is played, as demonstrated here:

With version 1.63 and higher, you can use a pre-defined set of test positions, as shown in

What a beautifully crafted chess engine and app. This app is very well supported by video and text instruction from its creator. Its delibarate mistake settings make it a wonderful sparring partner. Place it's mistake level to 0 and you unleash a monster. It is at home in both positional chess and sharp tactical positions. Perfect simply perfect. I cant find anything that could have been done better. Simply wonderful. Download and enjoy. And my thanks to it creator, for giving us this master peace.

Had this for awhile, but the king keeps making illegal moves. When you have the king on the run it makes illegal moves and even says it's doing it, kinda weird...so I deleted it for good...

I like the variety of functions included. The only headache for me is that i can't exit with back button on my Galaxy Note2. I suppose an exit command can be added to the main menu to bypass any device/hardware constraints.

Hi developers, nice to see you instantly fixed the game saving problem n castle problem. Uppon updating the app the game in progress finish and need the start again. Please increase the strength upto Grandmaster Level (showing ELO Strengh minimum 2400 to 2700 or more) so I can see how strong ELO system against I am playing and if it possible add some world championship games to learn.

Has multiple levels of difficulty to let you start easy and get better over time. Undo allows for taking silly mistakes back. And you can switch pieces with computer if you feel like you cannot win the game and would like to see what the computer would do in your situation.
