About this game

This app has also a FREE Version with the same name. Search it on the store or visit https://metatransapps.com
This is the open source Bagatur Chess Engine with its own GUI (graphical user interface).
It is not as strong as Stockfish, Komodo, AlphaZero or Leela Chess Zero, but is strong enough to beat a grandmaster.
It has 16 strength levels. From level 5, it could show the search information.
The ELO rating is about 3000 and the program has a unique playing style.
In general, the application demonstrates an application of artificial intelligence (AI) into the domain of chess.
To clarify, it is not an OEX chess engine and other chess engines cannot be imported into the GUI.

Playing instructions:
1. Check the menu and make sure the strength level is appropriate.
2. Select/deselect the Human/Computer buttons for both sides according to which side you want to play and whether you play against a computer or another person.
3. Use the flip board button to change sides if you play with black.
4. Move the piece by drag and drop or by selecting from/to squares.
5. If you want, you could use the move navigation buttons to go back and forward in the move sequence.
6. It is recommended to check all settings in the menu and make sure you play with the option you like most (e.g. move animation speed, chess pieces set, colors).

Features:
1. FEN import/export/share.
2. Different modes: Human-Human, Human-Bagatur, Bagatur-Bagatur.
3. Different strengths levels.

Ratings and reviews

Purchased full strength app...pretty darn tough for a program that claims to be "not so strong" As a seasoned Player I definitely recommend this app for beginners and experienced Players...it's fun, easy to navigate, and has everything your looking for in an opponent, or even if you just wanna try out different strategies with Human vs Hunan. Highly recommend this, and if you want a truly aggressive opponent you've got your wish.

UPDATE - App appears to be perfectly fine, I can download the app from the Huawei App Gallery directly and there are no warnings or issues. Very well could be a general issue with Huawei phones. When downloaded from here on the PlaySl Store, my Huawei phone's onboard anti-virus said the app was infected, though this really doesn't appear to be the case otherwise the same wouldn't be on the Huawei App Gallery as well. Very nice and dedicated developer, well made engine for Chess too.

very good chess engine but no intermediate level and no way to save PGN.
