Buggy app, always crashes
App always crashes when you try starting a new game or change setting.
Just gives us a refresh and update
It’s working good. Nice platform and image. But it’s about time just to refresh and update. PLEASE! I’m giving it 5 stars now, because it’s still very good.

Sad. Once celebrated engine
Don’t waste your time here
Pluses and minuses on interface
There are a lot of options for chess engines. The icons for the pieces need an upgrade here. I found only one of six appealing.
Two have lo res graphics, which is unacceptable for a premium priced app. One set is ugly, and the Russian set is two shades of grey, without enough contrast.
The list of captured pieces is nice, and surprisingly missing from a lot of other apps.

A portable Full-Strength chess engine
Hands down the best chess related thing you can have on your phone. When used thoughtfully this is a powerful learning tool that world champions would kill for back in the day. A must purchase for chess enthusiasts.
Longtime fan
Chess Genius is a great app.
On my iPhone 6s when playing strength is set to "instant" and permanent brain off, CG beats Hiarcs set to 2300 on my iPad Air 2.
One area of improvement might be to adjust the playing level options or dynamically adapt the level descriptions to the power of the CPU/GPU because the first level after easy is now master on the latest iPhone.
Thanks for all the hours of chess fun and learning.

A long time and loyal Richard Lang fan. The author will be in the chess programmers Hal of Fame if they ever create one. His chess programs dominated the chess programming world in the late 80's and early 90's.
All the best Richard!
Ps one of the few chess apps that display the board/menu correctly while using hotspot.

Thx for app
Best and easy
still great after all these years
i wrote my first review for chessgenius in 2008. at that time i was new to iphone. the most recent app update compliments my 6 Plus hardware and continues to deliver challenging chess. this chess app is one of a small group of chess apps that i use frequently.
