Aliyat Chess - Online DB, Play for Android
Decent app. Was missing position search in the database. But developer quickly suggested how to access this functionality! Looking forward to this app.
Fantastic free chess software
Ok, it has everything, opening explorer, stockfish, edit game with variations etc. But user interface is really poor. It is very tedious task to set up a position... Please look at interface of shredder which is very easy to use
Finding this to be a really helpful study tool. My only real negative is there seems to be no option to view in landscape mode (which would suit me much better when using on my tablet). Thanks anyway guys - all in all a great piece of mobile software :-)
I recently got this app and could not figure out some of the features so I used their feedback in the app and they emailed me straight away, a real person, asking me for more clarity on my questions. Needless to say the customer service for this free app is even better than most apps you pay for! Not to mention anything about the great features that are raved about in other comments. Seriously just download this app if you love chess. It is by far the best chess app anywhere!
Import options Bigger control keys
This is the most usefull chess app for me. Glad that i found it
Great application for chess lover
1. threatened squares: Displays the status of each piece on the board. A red square means that the piece is under attack and not sufficiently defended, or that it is being attacked by a piece of lesser value. This is usually a pretty serious danger signal and means you must take active measures to avoid losing a piece. Yellow means that the piece is under attack, but it is just sufficiently defended. You must be careful about removing any defending piece. Green means the piece has enemy contact but is well defended. Usually it is okay to remove a defending piece. 2. Engine vs Another Engine make it possible for two different chess engines to play with each other. its better than one engine vs itself
Can there be an option to change the font? (i.e. To system font)
How to import pgn file ?
I can't express how much I use Aliyat for my daily chess preparation. My opening prep would have lots of lacunae without this app. No other app or website provides u free opening explorer with database and engine analysis. A free alternative to Chessbase. Thankyou Aliyat team. There is still an improvement that I would love to see in the app. In the opening explorer tab, there is a column of counts i.e. number of games the current position is reached as per database. From there only, there should be a link to explore those games. We should be able to search games in which the current position has been reached. That would make this program perfect. :)
Can you add stockfish7 or Komodo 10 chess engine for analyze the games...there is no save option to save the gemes...
Finally! The first app I really like in Android. The book is awesome.
Great app to learn how to play chess, and study different gameplays. Thanks developers for the great job!
