Simply Amazing

This game is great. The graphics and sound design are superb, and the chess engine is spot on. Just a joy playing chess with this app. This game is the one I will always come back to and never be bored with. Buy it right now!
What am I missing
wtw1995
The game is fine, but I'm confused about previous reviews referring to the display/graphics as superb, stunning, beautiful, etc. Yes, it looks nice - but it's very simple and plain. Some may call that elegant or classy and I respect their opinion.. Based on the price and the reviews, however, I was expecting some smoking 3-D graphics. Yes, I saw the screen shots above, but chose to ignore them thinking there was much more to it. I'm sure this will be an excellent chess app, I just had my expectations way too high on the graphics.
Almost

The game crashes far too often. I find myself restarting the app several times per game. I don't lost progress, which is good, but I still find it very frustrating. I'm running the app on an iPad 2, so I don't think my hardware is the problem.
I love the classic skin
FellowGEEK
Deep Green is the nicest chess game on iPad but the new skin is not as beautiful as the classic skin, remember to go to the settings and enable the classic skin, I hope they make the classic skin, the default one.

Lovely App, too expensive.

The app is great, smooth, and gorgeous. I think for $8 though, you should get more than just the ability to play a basic game of chess.
Beautiful

The most beautiful chess game out there for the iPad or iPhone. The visual quality of the board and pieces is unmatched. There are obviously apps out there with more bells and whistles (Shredder, etc.), but if elegant design is what you're looking for, this is it.
