![]() On the plus side it as a quiz mode which can be kind of fun - it has you find forks/pin/mates in 2 etc. Also it can only save the game currently played so you can't review past games. It seems to be confused over the 50 move rule, so that if you don't get a checkmate in 50 moves from the start of the game (rather than the last capture or pawn move) it will declare a draw. More seriously it has problems calling a draw. First in 2D mode, the mode I prefer to play in, you can't flip the board - black is always at the top. There are 9 levels (monkey to master) graphics are good, but it does have a number of drawbacks. ![]() ![]() It also has a backgammon game as part of the program though I have little interest in backgammon. ![]() Amazing stuff.Apple has released a chess program for the ipod (5th gen or classic or new video nano) it can be downloaded to itunes and placed on your ipod for only $5.00. I’ve seen some of these apps perform very well vs Stockfish and even force some draws here and there with the white pieces, but I’ve NEVER!!! Seen an app beat that engine, and I’ve NEVER!!! Seen results other than a loss with the black pieces. It drew the 2nd game with black, and it drew the 3rd game with white. I always play the winner against Stockfish (11, not 12 which I know is the newest and best, but v.11 is still a world renowned chess software amongst players and the computer chess world, elite engine nonetheless, certainly a 3000+ Elo I would assume.) This app one it’s little tourney and in the 3 games vs Stockfish that it played (1 white, 1 black, then one random) it one its first game with the white pieces in an AMAZING! Passed pawn pushing end game. ![]() when I get bored I’ll download a bunch of random chess apps and play them against each other at their highest difficulty, in little engine/chess bot tourneys. So I’m a pretty serious chess player, and I’m really really into computer chess/engine chess. ![]()
