Best chess app for local play
Ellis '09
The auto-rotate feature is great, this is the best app I've found for local 2 player chess games.
Awesome Bluetooth Chess!

Love it--just what I was looking for. Great for playing real time chess in a coffee shop.
Great graphics... however...

Fantastic graphics... especially with the marble chessboard mode. However, I just downloaded the new iOS 8 and the game needs to be optimized for the new software. Other than that, I think it's the best chess app out there. My wife and I play it all the time.
Love it

I love this app, I love that the lowest level AI is pretty easy for beginners, although it feels pretty aggressive to me, it is very fun!
No problems here

The only thing is wish it had was the ability to see the different boards in the menu that way you don't have to start a game to see what it looks like. Bluetooth connectivity works flawlessly. Great game :)
Nice...

Simple with cool 3D graphics. I love the options to change the chess board and keep or remove the move hints. Moving around the board at any angle flows effortlessly.
