AI Factory Limited Chess Free
I have enjoyed playing chess since I was ten years old, although I must admit that, after nearly a half century of playing, I'm still not very good at it. In recent years, I've turned to a variety of computer chess programs in an effort to improve my game.
The best computer-based chess program I've faced is also one of the most recent: "Chess Free," another absolutely superior Android-based game published by AI Factory. I purchased this app shortly after I got my Kindle Fire HD. I now have it installed on both my KFHD and my smart phone, and I've been hopelessly addicted to it ever since.
"Chess Free" has a fairly long list of excellent features that should please chess players from beginner to advanced. As with all AI Factory games, graphics are clear, crisp, and simple yet sophisticated. The chess board and pieces are of the traditional 2D design. Touch screen response is immediate; the chess piece movements are always silky-smooth, without a trace of hesitation.
"Chess Free" has ten levels of difficulty, and keeps track of player statistics at all levels. Players can choose to play against the CPU or against other human opponents. The game's underlying chess engine is "Treebeard," which was developed by AI Factory engineers with the intent of making the game challenging but with a more "human-like" feel to it. In this, I think they have succeeded to a remarkable degree. While playing "Chess Free" at its lowest levels, I have seen the "Treebeard" engine make an occasional and unexpected boneheaded move that makes me feel right at home. Yet, even at the easiest levels, I find the game very challenging indeed.
"Chess Free" is ad supported, but the ads are small and unobtrusive. There is also a paid version of the app that removes the ads. This is an excellent game in every respect. Highly recommended!
This is a great app.
BalasHapusThe user interface is great and the play level is very good. At times I thought it was quite CUNNING and DASTARDLY.
I had some games where I could have sworn it was human like.
Very well done!
Had this game since it was first available and it's fantastic! Have played chess since I was little and this is a great way to practice. Easy levels are good for casual play or learning and the harder levels for when you want to improve your game!! Highly recommend it!

This is a beautifully designed chess app. The graphics are pretty and the user interface is intuitive. It suspends nicely if you leave the app (e.g., by pressing the Android home button), such that you can resume your game later. I did not have any problems with the game quitting if left alone, as one reviewer has noted. I run it on my Nexus One and my Motorola Xoom and it works great on both.
BalasHapusThe game has a couple of extra features that I really like. My favourite is the option to show which move the computer is currently considering. This is particularly interesting on the highest difficulty levels, where the computer will take a little time to make its move. (On lower levels of difficulty, the computer moves instantaneously.) The game can also keep track of your win rate (number of games lost and won against the computer) over time.
The game has ten difficulty levels that cover a good range. I was able to beat it without much trouble at the lowest level but not at all at the highest.
The AI engine is very challenging, the interface is beautiful... you will get your money's worth... without paying any money!

BalasHapusThis game is easy to use, self intuitive, and has all the features you would expect from a chess game. It doesn't have an analysis engine, but you can review the games, save them, and export them. There is absolutely nothing more that I could hope for from a free app. Very well done, AI!!!
BalasHapusLove the undo move....LOL....helps me win most of time. Very entertaining. Mostly relaxing . I have this on my phone and kindle.
BalasHapusI would recommend this app. the cost of this app is free. it is well worth it. I like it very much
