★★★★★Larry Beane Jr.· Mar 25, 2026
Lots of boards and pieces to choose from. Engine elo around 2100.has evaluation, would be good if there were stronger levels added. A good app for casual players.
★★★★★Chris· Apr 1, 2011
Solid, good-looking chess program There are more fully-featured chess apps for Android but none with a more clean, good-looking, intuitive interface. Solid computer opponent - might benefit from an absolute beginners level.

Frustrating This game is irritating! I am always trying to counter but it cheats. When the computer has a queen and gets a pawn to my side, it gets a queen -.- ! And no matter what I do, it has some sort of response. I was once checkmated when I could have done something after to get out of check. I am disappointed and I don't recommend it.

Not a fan when I finally do manage to get round it ten trillion IQ and make a checkmate move this stupid AI makes illegal moves to win! It should be simple on easiest setting
★☆☆☆☆Joe· Mar 16, 2011
Force closed when I promoted a pawn to a queen and I lost my game.
★★☆☆☆John· Jul 11, 2012
Doesn't remember game state The gameplay itself is fine, but why does the app reset the board whenever you go to another app? I thought the whole point of a stateless device like an android was that programs would remember their states from one instance to the next.
