SmallFish Chess For iOS 6 - Free & Friends

*** The app is broken in iOS 10. It will not be updated as the app is here to honour the older iOS versions (where SmallFish was initially developed). ***
Category Price Seller Device
Games Free Ted Wong iPhone, iPad, iPod

*** Download this app if you're interested how SmallFish worked in the old days. ***

*** This is the iOS 6 version for SmallFish, more suitable for the older devices. Please download the latest version (search "SmallFish" on AppStore) if you have later iOS installed. ***

SmallFish is an open source project based on the Stockfish chess engine. It uses the latest Stockfish chess engine (Stockfish 4.0), rated about Elo 3230+ and is therefore one of the strongest chess apps.

The app derives directly from the Stockfish iOS app and borrow code from SmallChess (another top chess app) to create stunning chess playing experience for absolutely no cost! The strongest chess app is free, something very hard to believe but it's true.

SmallFish offers you three distinct ways to improve your game. You can review your game with comments, or study how Stockfish thinks, or track your progress. You can also control the internal engine parameters.

The interface is an example of a "flatten" design - dropping of heavy textures and the addition of several new simple user interface elements.

SmallFish is simply amazing.

Wow!!

I used this to practice my chess games, but the chess engine is really strong! I lt fairs really well against Houdini 3 chess program on an iPhone 5. Amazing!


decent

i5 display support, stability is okay.


Stockfish chess clone
Crystal886

It's a clone of the iOS app - "stockfish chess", without a lot of features like move list, permanent brain, analysis feature and so on... It's an old version of Stockfish chess, glad to see it support iPhone 5, but it is not as stable as the original stockfish chess.

Thanks. Will this get updated for iOS 7?


Fantastic teaching tool

Great little app. I love the graph that shows if your move was a net positive or negative. With the slide of a finger you can review your play and watch the graph bounce up and down. See you made a mistake? Let the program show you a better alternative.
