*update 2017* cant do computer vs computer matches anymore since update ........ seems like other stuff was removed... Sweet chess app has a the feel of a1980's/early1990s PC chess program that i like even has 1980's beep sound effects you can play 2players through bluetooth connect. or if you use it on a big tablet you both can play on the same machine like a real chess board. it also has the option to show the Cpu thinking at on the side like old chess programs and it looks sweet. It works with my xoom but not with my motorolia triumph phone....and that is too bad because this is my chess app of choice it is small and gets the job done.

Had issues with Bluetooth failing. In such cases it would be nice to have an option to try to reconnect and not loosing the game.. otherwise great game.

good to see Dark Knight updated. clean and stylish design with streamlined game action. very cool.

Compared to all the ugly messy excuses for an interface that other apps sport, the no bull- hi-res approach is a surefire winner. I would love to see online MMP intergrated. But since Im not a dev, I can't do it myself, and neither would I complain. Darn great App!

I've tried quite a few chess games and this is definitely the best one I came accross. Very challenging (at least for a beginner, I suspect it can be quite tricky even for a very good player) and there is none of the annoying safe and aimless moves that can be found in other products- the Dark Knight always keeps the pressure on.

Looks great on my galaxy nexus and also has a tablet optimised UI, too! I haven't tried playing an opponent via bluetooth yet, but I'm looking forward to trying.

Well I am quite impressed with the moves of this app, I bet none chess app could beat it's moves, it has sufficient moves in reply to any brilliant moves by opponents

5* Potential. Almost everything you expext from a chess app! Please make the board fit the screen. Its still too small on 100% only fits about 70% of screen. Its still about the game :) Great work so far guys! Fix and I'll give 5* Also sent email re online issues. No response! Cant find the folder for this app!?

Hi dev, its gr8 app with stockfish chess engine. Can you plz add the name of opening and defence with respective rating among GM.

A. G. u. Feb 10, 2012     

Easily the best app for chess on the market. I hope to see this catch on in popularity because it deserves to be at the top!

Still there is a lot of improvement to be made such as putting arrows to browse game, option to select engine, changing board design maybe add new features which is not in droidfish.But overall it is going in the right direction for a beta.

I haven't won yet so an easy level would be good

Something very wrong with this app in my Note4 or bad user interface concept.
