Customer Reviews
Excellent Chess Game! Needs Landscape.
Excellent chess game and very pleasing user interface. Difficulty levels are configured appropriately and allow you to get acquainted before advancing. Admittedly, I haven't messed with it extensively yet, but haven't found a way to view in landscape mode. It should be an automatic view change anyway. That's the only suggestion I have.
Nice but too easy
Nice graphics, no bugs, I liked the game but its only drawback was that the engine was too easy. I'm an average player (1580) and can easily beat the computer. On the other hand, it's a nice enough version of chess that I can play my buddies without carting around my vinyl set. They're all in the 1700 range. Overall, you did an awesome job.
Much fun
Various skill levels, well laid out and fine graphics.
