### 1/5 — This is modern western chess, not shatranj

*2012-04-21*

I have rated low as this is not shatranj which is a destinct game with a common ancestor as modern chess but includes elephants that can jump over a piece diagonally two squares. This is regular chess and I have attempted to rate its computer as the excellent social chess app allows you to play real people very easily. His was disappointing.

### 4/5 — This isn't Shatranj, this is just chess.

*2017-07-25*

This game simply consists of one thing:
A computer to play chess against.

 You can't change the difficulty. And it plays really strong, About 1500 FIDE elo. And I somewhat appreciate that.

The sound effects are somewhat annoying:

The move/capture sound effects are okay

The enemy's check sound effect is literally just a cow's "moooo".

The thing that bothers me the most is that I downloaded this to play shatranj. And I end up playing chess instead.

I repeat, this is NOT shatranj. It's just standard chess.
