Software Reviews and Criticism

  • By Gurn42

    Weak

    Typical for game apps on the App store. A basic engine that crashes often and has no functionality. If all you need is stripped down chess engine with absolutely no bells or whistles, I guess you will be happy with this app. But I am used to running many high end 64 bit engines on multi-core liquid cooled overclocked CPU’s on Windows machines, so my expectations are a little different. Windows OS is great for some things, just not chess (or virtually any other game).

    Good, but...

    Stockfish is the most powerful free chess-playing software. That’s the good news. The bad news is that on my iPad it routinely crashes and doesn’t allow you to annotate your games or to save analyses. That said, I use it to quickly check the solutions to chess puzzles and to play a quick game.

    Flawed.

    This app is missing two crucial features. First, there should be a “setup position” option in case you want to analyze a game but dont have the FEN or PGN readily available. Second and more important, there should be an option to stop the analysis after a fixed time - the fact that I have to press go and stop after each move (to avoid arbitrarily long and unnecessary analysis, draining battery and CPU power) is very annoying. It seems logical and simple to have an option where the analysis stops after 10 seconds (or any given time) each move. This app would easily be five stars with those additions.
