Sounds pretty good but I'm unsure as I haven't looked for much feedback on it yet. I use to be really good at chess but haven't played in years now so wouldn't mind playing again. My fiancée can't handle learning apparently it's too complicated. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,571 896 113 #3 ste86uk, Aug 8, 2015 Just picked it up with the sale and will try later on. Already has a lot if reviews on my store, which surprises me for a chess game. Elsa Well-Known Member Apr 7, 2015 653 0 0 Arendelle #4 Elsa, Aug 8, 2015 You won't regret it, if you are looking to play chess against an AI, this delivers. Probably one of the best single-player chess games on the Appstore. But for learning, I wouldn't recommend this app, or any app for that matter. If you want to teach your fiancée how to play chess, you're better off with a picture chart that shows the movement of each piece and then explain the more advanced moves and rules as you go. It usually doesn't take more than an hour for the person to learn the basics, a few games to learn the rest of the rules and valid/invalid moves and then a dozen more games until they learn the standard openings and other tricks. Then they pretty much start learning by themselves. "Not enough time" is not an excuse. And talking about time, (this should be obvious) keep the clock away from a beginner or even an intermediate player. Learning from an AI rarely works, as people can get bored quickly (face it, chess is can be one of the most boring games if you don't have an idea of what is going on, even if you're highly motivated to learn) and the person can quickly fall into the "instant no-brain gratification" trap with these types of learning methods that show you the next best move. I have been playing chess my whole life and did quite good (2nd on regionals, 37th on nationals) and I've also been helping my mentor teach others, if you want to know my qualifications. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,571 896 113 #5 ste86uk, Aug 8, 2015 Thanks, it will be helpful to have AI to play against as things like chess with friends that I found rely on waiting days or forever for someone to take their turn which is no good. As for teaching I wouldn't rely on it to teach her, I've tried before with a chess board but she gets bored, maybe it's just not for her but we will see. I learnt before I was even a teenager as my dad would have me play chess with him so it just didn't take any work for me to learn. Although in this day and age I don't see many people picking up things like this, so it was nice to see all the reviews! The closest I got was enjoying Hero Academy, I treated that like chess just with a larger catalog of moves. Elsa Well-Known Member Apr 7, 2015 653 0 0 Arendelle #6 Elsa, Aug 8, 2015 If you have an internet connection while playing, then I can't recommend Social Chess enough. The name of the app is lame, I know. But it's not social if you don't want it to be. There's chat (which is always fun) but nothing distracts you if you don't want it to. There's also an ELO rating system, which helps with finding similarly skilled players (but you can also reach for the stars and request a match with someone much higher). There are also many game modes and you can customize how much time each players has and by how much the clock increments per move etc. It's a really great mode if you know in advance how much time you'll have to play a match. There's also a slow mode, where a player must make a move in 1/3/5 days, so you can have some really long and epic matches. Same here, except that in my case it was my grandfather. I'll always fondly remember all the fights we had over silly little rules. -"You touch it, you move it!" -"You can't take back moves!" -"Castling doesn't work like that!" -"En passant?! You just made that up!" -"You can't have two Queens!" We would always not speak to each other for hours after that, and then ultimately returned to the game as we realized we loved the game and had nobody else to play with. Hahah, good times. ste86uk Well-Known Member May 9, 2012 6,571 896 113 #7 ste86uk, Aug 9, 2015 Thanks for the tip on social chess, I've just downloaded it but I'll wait until I get some practice in again offline first!
