![]() Are you tired of playing chess games that look like they were designed for a Commodore 64 instead of an iPhone? We've got the antidote for you. Chess Free is the best chess game for the iPhone and iPod Touch, and it's free! Chess Free supports both 1 player and 2 player gameplay, so you can play against friends or test your skills against a challenging computer opponent. ![]() ![]() Chess Free is an app that allows you to play chess either alone versus the artificial intelligence or with a friend. The difficulty level of the artificial. Chess Free offers a host of exciting features, including: * Great graphics and exciting sound effects * Configurable player names and score tracking. Apple has released a chess program for the ipod (5th gen or classic or new video nano) it can be downloaded to itunes and placed on your ipod for only $5.00. It also has a backgammon game as part of the program though I have little interest in backgammon. There are 9 levels (monkey to master) graphics are good, but it does have a number of drawbacks. First in 2D mode, the mode I prefer to play in, you can't flip the board - black is always at the top. More seriously it has problems calling a draw. It seems to be confused over the 50 move rule, so that if you don't get a checkmate in 50 moves from the start of the game (rather than the last capture or pawn move) it will declare a draw. Also it can only the game currently played so you can't review past games. On the plus side it as a quiz mode which can be kind of fun - it has you find forks/pin/mates in 2 etc. However many of these positions are not ones you would see in regular play so they are far inferior to the tactics trainer on this website. Overall this program has a number of drawbacks, (the worst of which will hopefully be patched) but for a mere $5.00 is worthwhile if you have already shelled out the bucks for an ipod.
