Fischer Random, yay! Clicking Install UCI Engine without any engines will delete all games. And then I found the export games to SD card, boo! Option to resize board
1. threatened squares: Displays the status of each piece on the board. A red square means that the piece is under attack and not sufficiently defended, or that it is being attacked by a piece of lesser value. This is usually a pretty serious danger signal and means you must take active measures to avoid losing a piece. Yellow means that the piece is under attack, but it is just sufficiently defended. You must be careful about removing any defending piece. Green means the piece has enemy contact but is well defended. Usually it is okay to remove a defending piece.

It is really good. Needs some improvements with GUI. it's a bit confusing specially when I hit the back button then I can't find my FICS account and I reconnect.
This app has everything a chess player could ask for, as long as they aren't Gary Kasparov. It is FUN to play, and challenging to the layman, without all of the (sorry guys), named opening moves etc, (snore Zzz) . The engine can be adjusted to different strengths, and the graphics are okay, but they are the one thing that needs improvement. This game has NO ADS!! Which makes it a treasure. Hats off to the developer for a good app. I'm keeping it.

After update of Android 6.0.1 on my Samsung A6 tablet the board no longer fits the screen (only 6x8 fields) no matter what I do! Great before - now useless. Please fix asop.

When I am trying to play online, pieces are not visible. Any reason?

Guys if u wanna learn and play blindfold chess, this is the best app ever.

The native engine of the app. best chess app This app is the best for playing online. This is my goto app. Thanks for making this app stable.
Confirm button It would be nice if there was a confirm button so I could move the piece and check around the board to see if I like that move, then confirm it to make the move. It would feel like moving a piece on a chess board and keeping your finger on the piece in order to check out the board.
Please add Could you please add engine analysis, as well as on-screen arrows for recommendations of next moves, like Droid fish has?
Simple yet powerful The app does not have fancy graphics like some others, but it can do anything you could wish for. You can play online on the free internet service, you can play against the computer, you can solve puzzles and learn and analyze games.
Free & without ads Awesome, and for the price (free & ad-free) you simply can't find better.
Perfect, ad less, many options for difficulty, works well with free internet chess server.
I'm totally amateur, but I really enjoy the Chromecast compatibility. I will enjoy adding some serious polish to my chess game.
OK but Show captured pieces during online game +2* Give option to remove confirm/cancel buttons for online play, and instead send move directly +1*
Good software. Not strong as droid stockfish 6 but is a nice software
Why do you need device & app history? I can't update without this explanation. I suggest you explain the permissions you use in your description.

Hi Paul,
This was used by Play online, but now replaced by notifications. Many features Chess960, Play on FICS with innovative add custom command feature, no ads. Love it.
Swiss army knife of chess apps. Play on fics. Solve thousands tactical chess problems. Install uci engine of your choice. Has the functionality of a chess database too.simply the best
Excellent This chess app is excellent. Very excellent. I have tried some of the other chess apps on the store, this surely is better than most chess app. Please developer continue your support of the app. Very well done
Critically faulty Made me lose on time by not transmitting a move for three minutes, while still running clock.
