User reviews
Challenging, plays at your skill level (there's 10 difficulties). Really good chess app in my opinion. Just wondering what happened to the full version of the game. It's no longer available for purchase for some reason

This chess application is good to play and learn as it gives opening name when started.A real test of skill comes from Beginner level & at higher levels game appears to slow down and sometimes it hangs up but overall a good attempt made

I like this app, it's excellent I have been using it for the last few days. I like both the board and the pieces, I am very picky about the chessboard and the chess pieces. I would love to buy the full version but it's not available on Amazon app store.
