Needs a Zoom feature and some optimization
While this Chess app offers a quite a few Chess variations, and it really is alone in the App Store in that respect, there are two pretty serious issues when it on my iPhone. 1. There is no screen zoom, and for many of these Varients, the boards and pieces are so small that you really need one. Being able to select pieces for some of the games are almost impossible on an iPhone sized screen. Then there’s 2. The lag. I don’t mean lag when the computer opponent is thinking. There’s a lot of lag when it’s waiting for a move to be entered by the player. I’d be poking at a piece on my screen over and over again before the poke would register. I thought that there was an issue with my screen, but no. It’s the app. Everything, including trying to click the X to close out of a game just doesn’t register without poking the screen over and over again. Also, I’d like to beg for the inclusion of Millenium Chess, and Omega Chess. Those are my two favorite Chess varients. This app has a lot of potential, but it needs that zoom ability and something done about the lag. *edit* I also just discovered that on my iPhone, when I pull up the game rules, the lag increases a thousand fold. It scrolls really choppy, and it takes multiple finger slides to make it scroll just once. The scrolling and lag induced make it impossible to read the rules at all.

Best chess app yet
This app has Chinese chess, standard, tri-dimensions and any other form of chess you can think off. Not sure why it doesn’t have more reviews
Excellent Collection of Chess Variants
This app is a well-constructed collection of chess variants, some modern, some ancient. It has a full set of features and is stable and easy to use.
Very nice app
Many chess variants are here, including some I have never seen. I have only played against the computer so far. No problems at all.
Little Buggy
Pretty good app for Jockly. I am using an iPhone 6 but I have a difficult time getting to my tables. It comes up quickly and crashes. I can follow an email link for my turn to a game without a problem. Wish this bug would be fixed.
Also when playing mini chess variants like "chess attack" the square colors do not change when you invert the view (say you are playing the black piece s). This is because a standard 8x8 chess board always has a black square to the players lower left but this is not the case in a 5x6 variant. It would be nice if this could be fixed.
