Description

The Pulsar Chess Engine plays chess and six variants all with adjustable levels : Chess960, Crazyhouse, Losers, Atomic, Three Checks and Giveaway. Games played that have a result or resignation are logged and can be reviewed. There are additional game collections when users open their log file of classic and modern master games including Fischer, Carlsen and Morphy collections. If the game is a chess game or Chess960, Crafty engine analysis is available.

Pulsar values mobility and active positions. In app there is an article with more on its playing style and how to train against it. With the variants, each has its own style. Chess960, Three Checks and Crazyhouse are the more chess like variants and adoptable to learn to play for anyone with interest. The rules of all games are in app.

Pulsar has levels of play from beginner too advanced. Games with a time control are the hardest though Pulsar doesn't call the player's time. The time is more to handicap Pulsar's strength, but users will have a clock and can see if it's gone negative if they want to play the time control.

The game button - configure game menu item, lets the user control the variant and difficulty. It defaults to Chess at Easy(lowest level) but remembers the current settings when the App restarts. There are choices of pieces and board color schemes. The Pulsar program was originally developed by me for computers starting in 1998 and came to mobile for the first time in 2014.

Pulsar's board is accessible to the blind using Voice Over, a screen reader. Tap on a square and it will say whats on it and double tap to move or choose from three move methods. A screen reader can normally read anything with text like a button, but a board is a collection of images. To make it accessible, text must be returned to Voice Over when a tap is in the area of a square.

Pulsar began as a chess program and later learned variants. It ran extensively on two servers for many years both at chess and variants. The ratings on the board reflect strength I saw in rated play on handicapped bots. They are not 100% exact but generalizations I made from the various bots I ran at different settings.

If in the new game selector, Play vs. Computer is unchecked the user can move for both sides. This is to allow two people at same location to use the App as a board for a game and have the app enforce move legality and results for whatever variant is selected.

BubblesRFL,
Good game and engine
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.
Andrew Roller,
Game works and is fun
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.
World's Foremost Expert,
No Frills, Great Features!
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!
Zandaxar,
Excellent for Chess960 and other variants!
A nice surprise was when you win at a higher difficulty level it unlocks example professional player classical games.
Snoozalotapus,
Great app. Exactly what I hoped existed now
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!
Mr. Scrooge Mcduck,
Fun app
Feels great to go up against another chess engine. I am really enjoying the app.
Davidyom10,
Awesome sparring partner
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.

ProgrammerVic,
Good, but a little weak
Hmmm... it blunderes mate in 2
Some Book Guy,
Just don't get fooled
This is only an app to play against. You cannot challenge another player, like for example "chess with friends". Who wants to play a computer all the time?

On the up side FINALLY there is an app for suicide chess and atomic chess!
Taniss99,
Wonderful Variety
Fun chess app that features a variety of variants. Wonderful considering no other chess app on the App Store has any chess variants
