Chess Only Hack 0.2.5 + Redeem Codes

This game allows me to learn at a self-directed pace while tracking my elo. The problem is that it takes forever to correct my elo downward when I’m losing, because I can’t concede the match.

I wish I could just have two or three buttons: “concede loss”, “declare draw”, and maybe “declare win”

This is an excellent app with a very clear purpose of playing and studying chess against an engine with little distraction. The progression of the rating as you play each game is a nice way to measure your skill level. The hint is a true hint and not a total give away of the best move. I play games regularly using this app and am very satisfied with it. One added feature I would recommend the developer to consider is the ability to export the moves in PGN format.

I love the visual simplicity. I get old 90’s PC chess vibes. Wish this had better iPad optimization, but on my phone it looks very clean. I like that you can slowly grow with it, instead of being bullied right out of the gate like Stockfish or some of the other more unforgiving apps. I haven’t played chess in years and this app is a really nice reminder of what made me love it the first time around!

I downloaded it for play on my iPhone. When the game launches the board is stuck in an upper right corner such that the right two columns don’t appear on the screen. I can’t reach the settings button because the buttons at the bottom are also overflowing the right edge of the screen so the last one visible is the hint button. No amount of tinkering would shift the screen to the left. Even deleted and reinstalled. Same result.

I like being able to analyze my games and try different variations on difficult positions. This app ALMOST let’s me do that, but there are some features it could really use to help out as a training tool.

1) Allow me to force the board into a specific position. This is great for exploring certain openings.

2) Allow switching sides.

3) Allow saving the board positions.

This is a great app to not microtransaction chess to death.

Works well, has analysis aids if desired as well as not. Plays close enough to humans at various elos to not be a bad mismatch.

I like how it rates your play and you improve over time. There are no replays to change the outcomes. Also no ads. Just pure Chess to help your brain and analyze and solve problems.

Needs a resign button. Needs to adjust ratings properly for new players. 1500 players don’t give up material as easily as this AI does. Seems a little underpowered at low levels. I like the simple blunder check coaching though. Keep working on it.

I have tried a lot of chess apps this one is one of my favorites.

Nice UX. Good concept of matching engine strength to player strength. But I cannot export PGN of games. Huge negative.

My workaround is to take screenshots of move list and replay hand in another tools that will export PGN.

If I could export games, and could review past games then I’d bump up the number of stars.
