*update 2017* cant do computer vs computer matches anymore since update ........ seems like other stuff was removed... Sweet chess app has a the feel of a1980's/early1990s PC chess program that i like even has 1980's beep sound effects you can play 2players through bluetooth connect. or if you use it on a big tablet you both can play on the same machine like a real chess board. it also has the option to show the Cpu thinking at on the side like old chess programs and it looks sweet. It works with my xoom but not with my motorolia triumph phone....and that is too bad because this is my chess app of choice it is small and gets the job done.

Still there is a lot of improvement to be made such as putting arrows to browse game, option to select engine, changing board design maybe add new features which is not in droidfish.But overall it is going in the right direction for a beta.

Awesome!

I've tried quite a few chess games and this is definitely the best one I came accross. Very challenging (at least for a beginner, I suspect it can be quite tricky even for a very good player) and there is none of the annoying safe and aimless moves that can be found in other products- the Dark Knight always keeps the pressure on.

X70%

Compared to all the ugly messy excuses for an interface that other apps sport, the no bull- hi-res approach is a surefire winner. I would love to see online MMP intergrated. But since Im not a dev, I can't do it myself, and neither would I complain. Darn great App!
