This is the one!
I love chess programs on my Mac and Palm and even did on my older Windows Mobile phone. Now that my contract ended with my old carrier I immediately bought my iPhone and started to look foir a chess game. What a disappointing assortment of the usual suspects. Interface problems, poor play, 3D graphics that might look good but during play the pieces would hide each other or become hard to see, not many options to adjust play or display -- I downloaded a few and regretted it and finally decided to just wait. Wow, am I glad I did because CHESS GENIUS is the best chess program ever on the Palm and Windows Smartphone. Now that it is on the iPhone everyone here can enjoy its crisp graphics, easily and widely-adjustable features and, of course, game play unmatched by any other chess-playing engine on a mobile device. This is it, this is the one. If you're a patzer happy with just looking at "somethin' cool" on your screen go get a program with candy-floss graphics. But if you are a Player, if you love chess, if you like a display designed not to distract but to involve -- download this soon. Heck, download it today.

Really quite amazing. The levels of expertise are well crafted. Implementation is robust. And friendly. And intuitive. 5 stars!
Fantastic!
I remember when Chess Genius was the first program to beat Kasparov. Its amazing to now have it on my iPhone.
The interface is simple and easy to use and I can set it play chess at my level. Well worth the £
Best Chess APP. A huge improvement over the others.
- A truly GREAT user interface: The Interface makes moving peices absolutely foolproof and very pleasurable. Very creatively done, and the first iphone chess app I've found that really succeeeds in this way.
- Powerful Engine: This is a big benefit for players at any strength. If you want to dial down the playing strength, Genius will be able to move SO much faster than other engines while playing at a given level of actual playing strength. That speed adds greatly to the joy of the experience. The improved playing strength is also great for finding the real solutions to real world chess problems.
- Excellent features- Many of which I've not found in the competitors. They did a beautiful job on stepping forward and back over the move history, and of easily getting the iphone to take over the players position whenever desired.
I've used ChessGenius for over 10 years, first on Palm, and then windows mobile, and I'm delighted to have Genius now on the iPhone, and so beautifully adapted. It's Must Have Application.
