Right now I have Shredder and Chess Genius installed as I believe these are the most premier apps with the most features and advanced AI. Am I overlooking any other titles that trumps the two I mentioned? Criteria to go by would be AI, interface, game analysis and built-in puzzles. Also can anyone recommend chess apps that are strictly centered around puzzles? I already have Chess Problems installed but if there are any others please mention them. And finally if you are looking for an app that contains a catalog of games by grandmasters from the past, Great Chess is a great app.
3D Chess looks pretty good. http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=314022946&mt=8 (too lazy to do the appinfo thing)
Haircs Chess is one of the better chess apps and it has very tough ai. Thread:http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=23601&highlight=chess Itunes link:http://toucharcade.com/link/http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=327708154&mt=8
Have you tried Glaurung Chess? It has a very strong engine with adjustable strength and best of all it's free! Itunes link: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=305558605&mt=8
I have Handy Chess to play people on FICS. Its pretty good, but its too risky to play if you dont have a wifi connection. At least for me. I understand ICC also has an app.
I have over 5 chess games and Shredder is the best imo. Chess Genius is also good but it's horribly outdated
I'm absolutely in love with Deep Green Chess lite by cocoa stuff I think it is. the full version is 7.99$ but the lite is already worth having, See all your past moves get moves suggestions when your stuck, 10 difficulty levels the last one is impossible. I suggest try the lite of Deep Green, it's free and it's polished and it's a serius chess app.
I like chess genius, I've also tried shredder but didn't like it as much. HIARCS is the one everybody wants now. It's new, and looks very good. I may give it a go.
