Latest reviews of E.G. Chess Free app for iPhone and iPad
Great game fun to play
The auto-rotate feature is great, this is the best app Ive found for local 2 player chess games.
Love it--just what I was looking for. Great for playing real time chess in a coffee shop.
Fantastic graphics... especially with the marble chessboard mode. However, I just downloaded the new iOS 8 and the game needs to be optimized for the new software. Other than that, I think its the best chess app out there. My wife and I play it all the time.
I love this app, I love that the lowest level AI is pretty easy for beginners, although it feels pretty aggressive to me, it is very fun!
