I played the iPad version of this, on my iPad. The game worked very well. I enjoyed it. It would be nice if the game would tell me when my king is in check. I thought that the game had frozen. In fact, my king was in check. It is a fun and worthwhile game on the iPad. Suggestions to the Author: 1. Please create a “Baby” level. “Easy” is too hard! Your game is relentless. It covers every piece that it advances. 2. When an enemy piece moves, please make this happen slowly. Your enemy pieces move so quickly that I can’t tell what happened. This is especially irksome when I think the enemy captured one of my pieces. 3. Please tell me when I’m in “check”. 4. A clearer statement of “check mate” would be helpful. Thank you.

Hmmm... it blunderes mate in 2

A nice surprise was when you win at a higher difficulty level it unlocks example professional player classical games.

I am enjoying playing this app after the recent update. The features are simple and easy to use and everything I want from a computer sparring partner. On issue I found is with the PGN, especially after queen promotions. In one file after 48…b2b1=Q, every subsequent move was listed as a pawn move even if a piece moved, and every black move had =Q, for example 49…f7f6=Q. Also, I try not to use undo/revert move feature, but it would good to have those moves recorded in braces.

When it moves to take a piece it will take an extra piece.

Couldn't get it to display above a 1200 level, even when increasing processor time.

Deceptively primitive at first glance, this is a really solid chess app, with loads of useful features, and a very straightforward interface. I got it specifically for the Chess 960 variant, but it quickly became my favorite out of several, and I'm still exploring and learning. Kudos to the developers for adding value to the internet!

simple more controlls then the standard easy fun , thank you !

I didn't think I would find an app that could play crazyhouse, much less beat me. This is exactly what I was looking for. Great app. Now I don't have to bore myself playin regular chess on my cell phone!

Im a regular chess player approx 1700 uscf and I find pulsars style of play on the lower levels quit amusing and challenging. Its really a great training tool for beginners + its free. The cons: a few bug here and there but if you e-mail the developer he is quick to respond and fixes up the issues. I gave it 5 stars because I find the app highly addicting. -David
