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.

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.

Awesome

Gary Smithers July 5, 2016

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.

Dan Jones June 21, 2016

Good game, not sure why on some permissions though, why would it need to know app history? Also could make the dots darker, can hardly see them on some color boards. Seems to be quite a big difference after 2 ply level, gets harder quickly, engine seems to draw a lot when you have it on the run....but it's free and no ads, not many on here that has that..

Jeroen Carolus June 26, 2016

Hi Dan, the "app history" permission is used in the Play online section for the "bring app to front" functionality. Thanks for the other remarks.

Jeremy Abramson May 28, 2016

Please add Could you please add engine analysis, as well as on-screen arrows for recommendations of next moves, like Droid fish has?

Peter Simons May 9, 2016

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.

Bouazza SE May 21, 2016

Free & without ads Awesome, and for the price (free & ad-free) you simply can't find better.

Daniel Haskin April 22, 2016

Perfect, ad less, many options for difficulty, works well with free internet chess server.

Todd Steif April 3, 2016

I'm totally amateur, but I really enjoy the Chromecast compatibility. I will enjoy adding some serious polish to my chess game.

Bennie du Plessis February 6, 2016

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*

Jamesie Pic March 6, 2016

Paul Dowsett August 23, 2016

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.

Jeroen Carolus September 19, 2016

Hi Paul, This was used by Play online, but now replaced by notifications.
