Basic chess board
Mark55025

This was pretty close to exactly what I was looking for. Just a chess board that I could put the pieces were I wanted them. I would like it if the board would orient itself to the Ipad. Also if it was easier to flip the board. I did not need the clock or the checkers.


Excellent

I was about to buy a set, but saw this app. You can set up the board in just about any way. Includes chess clock and you can save games to have multiple games.


Great Chess App!

Allows you to play timed chess games with a friend and even rotate pieces for easy viewing. You can also customize the clock per player. Just wish they allowed you to change the chess set to make it easier to view the opponents pieces. Great free app though!


Great app!

This is exactly what I needed for studying opening theory. It would be nice if the board could be a bit bigger (maybe by making the timers optional), but this is a minor complaint. Highly recommended.


Awful

This app allows illegal moves in chess and checkers


Great app

This is very useful to me for composing chess problems and study them. The ability to save the position and delete it when necessary is great . Extremely helpful.


Best for study

While the interface is not pretty, this is the best chess app I could find on the App Store for study purposes. Other more polished apps with chess engines are terrible for many study purposes due to their inability to allow illegal moves and insistence on making the user play the computer. When having a chess book open and needing to study an example, many times I have needed to setup an illegal position. This app was the only one I could find for this purpose.


Yes!!!

I finally found a chess game with a timer but needs to have a bit better graphics


View of pieces on board and moving of pieces
Michelangelo44

1) The board view is pathetic. You can barely see the black pieces on the black squares. Please do correct immediately by changing the hue for the black squares. That should be pretty simple! Please correct immediately. 2) The other major problem is the dragging of the pieces onto a blank board. You have to try 3 to 6 times before the piece next to the board is finally "grabbed" so you can drag it onto the board ! 3) The representation of the pieces next to the board is so ridiculuously small that you never know if the intended piece is grabbed or the one next to it. The buttons for the clock could be made smaller in order to make more room to make the pieces next to the board larger. Please correct as soon as possible, otherwise this will be another application that is not even worth the aggravation. The intention of the app is good but the execution leaves a lot to be desired …!
