Droid Fish is the strongest engine because it is based on stockfish. But chess genius is the best for human against engine. The reason is it plays almost instantly very strong moves without making you bored waiting for the engine to play. Unless you are a super GM, I would recommend this app for everyone. My only wish for this app is more choices for the chessboard colors. It already has 6 to 8 color choices, but none of them is what I am looking for.
Excellent training app for players of all ages and skill levels. I use the 'Hints' on the main menu and the take-back feature to explore new openings and improve my end game play.
Plays a decent game with rather basic options but does show line of play and you can set clocks. Searches 700,000 positions a second which is pretty fast. Plays more humanlike then some others.
I have had very happy memories with my Mephisto Chess Computer as a teenager, with Richard Lang's chess engines, I'm very pleased to see he is still improving his software and to further give him incentive to improve I purchased this app.
This is an excellent application and I had a little while to play with this and it has a ton of features for a very inexpensive app that are excellent and it's fun to play and overall I give it a good rating! Recommend!
This software is enough for those who love to hang around with chess engine, can easily beat, especially advanced student (above 2400 elo).
Game is super but the screen off in a minute does not stand by every time needs to unlock shluld improve settings and give options on standby please
Great program, very very strong unique style I really like that because the more styles you play against the better .Recommend this highly!
Love it except when you close and reopen the app the thinking line displays the last opening information until you make a move, fix this 5 stars
Please Given More powerful chess engine..... Just like... Stockfish..11. ..... Houdini 7...chesss engine..... And... Engine vs engine with facility to add engine..... Goodone.. And update also required.....
Does not work on Samsung z-fold 2. And that's a paid version!
The ChessGenius chess-engine is one of several engines that can beat about any chess grandmaster. I believe it might have been CGv3 that beat Gary Casparov.
Chess Genius is my first love...Glad to have hold of this again after more than 10 years..
A really nice strong program, but can we have Chess960 added?
This is a very good application. I can play anytime.
I really like this app since when I was a student until now.
Not strong enough to challenge at the top.
Dear Developer: give us the option of "Show Indices" in the Board View settings.
What are differences between chess genius & chess genius lite
Best
** Definitely feels abandoned which is a huge shame. ** A gem of a program that will suit everyone. Crystal clear and easy to use. The only thing I would ask is that you add an ability to analyse completed games, maybe with some simple annotation. C.G. Would then be ideal as a training aide for younger children.
This app is strong enough to defeat Kasparov, yet user friendly enough that it has taught my son to play the game. The levels go low enough that my son after 2 weeks can win against its first beginner level. You could purchase this program. Use it to become a Grandmaster and you would still not need to update it. This is a companion for life.
POOR HINTS, TUTOR & SAVE/LOAD SOLUTION. This app has many good features, as told us by the developer. But there are far better apps, like Shredder and others. This app gives you poor hints and gives false tutor -blunderwarning for "genius" moves. You will lose against the engine's Easy levels if you follow the hints. Easy levels are not good for training beginners when using hints, as these levels are far above 12-1600 elo.Clipboard saving works well, but not the database menu. There are no resign/draw option.
Have to say I love it, my go to app hands down. I just wish it had a resign or draw button instead of having to always play it out. In my opinion, it would be perfect then. Hopefully we get to see those buttons some time.
Please add analysis feature to the application,so as to enable analysis After each game. This will help to improve chess
People who complain and pitch Shredder are out for entertainment. This is a strong player and a great mobile chess opponent.
I would like to see a Command input type option for reg over a real board play = Much more enjoyable I would also like to see limint how many moves can see ahead Other then that not going to lie pretty dam good
Recently the tutor and line analysis keep showing up even though i keep turning them off.
Loved Chessgenius on Symbian as a kid. Back then I had no way to buy it. Finally I can have it on Android. The easy modes are great for learners. Plus it has a casual mode. You can lock the engine to only 1 second per move and it still plays at 2200+ ELO. That way you don't have to wait for it to make its move. But when it is your turn, you can take all the time you need. It has one fault: you can not open chess puzzles with it because it always immediately shows the solution.
