A lot of improvements have been made
A lot of improvements have been made since I last opened this app. I could actually play a quick game with the engine now. Because it makes human like blunders.
Response from developer
New update is now live with great new features and balanced engine play.
Missing Engines
I updated from V 1.3 and was disappointed to see all other engines besides Stockfish 16 were deleted?!? Maia, Lc0, all gone! This was the main reason I considered Imperial Chess to be the best chess app by far! Sadly, dev claims the "out of date" engines were deleted however, Stockfish 16 is also outdated as 17 has been out for quite a while. Lack of engine choices makes Imperial Chess just like the others. Varied engine choices is what set it apart from all the rest. Please bring back Lc0, Maia at least, as these engine's playing styles are quite different from ubiquitous Stockfish.

Great chess app
I can beat it on Elo 1700. And I like that it is running Stockfish 16.
New features in update, but lost its main attraction
Gameplay against Maia distinguished this program's previous versions. The Latest update seems to have removed these engines. The only chess engine now offered is Stockfish. Well, there are plenty of better apps for playing against Stockfish. Sadly, there no longer is any compelling reason to use Imperial Chess.
