5 ★ Very sadal and faltu because of bad graphics
1 ★ Bakwaj shuru nahi hota don't download this app
1 ★ Chess Stop
3 ★ Good, But Paid. Not Free.
1 ★ With droidfish all you have to do is copy and paste the different chess engines into the Droid fish UCI folder. I have no idea what I'm supposed to type to search for engines in my SD card. Also no Komodo chess engine support. No engine analysis during live game, only after the game is finished will it analyze. Back to Droidfish
3 ★ I would like to be able to use Komodo 9 as my engine but that doesn't seem to be an option
5 ★ A most enjoyed full
5 ★ I bought this app and I must say I am happy with this software, but I found two problems: 1. In the section "Board Editor" on landscape mode, it shows two towers instead of a tower and a queen for whites. On portrait all is correct, so not big deal after all. 2. This is the problem that is really important to me: "Copy PGN to clipboard" is not working. I have tried to copy from this app to several apps with same results: PGN is not valid or I just get a chessboard in blank. Update: Developer is attending the issues, I hope soon this problems will be solved. Update 2: Developer has solved all issues, thank you.
2 ★ Hawk Chess Free seems to get beaten all the time by my other Chess engines so you need to strengthen Hawk in your next update . And also when Hawk has got only one possible move to make or when Hawk has been forcemated it takes too long for the last moves of the game. Thank you.
