3 brilliant moves

Oh my god, I really love this Stockfish, this one is real guys. I’ve try Stockfish with Chess.com and it’s make 3 brilliant moves. This is awesome.

Rubbish

The engine is very weak

No unlimited time option

I understand you need to restrict Stockfish to some time limit or else it can think for eternity on some moves, but why does the human player need a time limit? Please let me play a game where stockfish has a maximum amount of time per move, but the human player is allowed unlimited time per move.

iOS 16 burns up w/Stockfish

Use Stockfish at highest settings, play well, and the iPhone 13 Pro will overheat, and shut down.

Crashes when loading game

Every time I try to load a saved game the app crashes

A little slow

Sometimes it thinks longer than I do; otherwise it is great

Great game

I use this app if I need help in a hard chess app . My favorite thing about this app is that it has no ads. It has no glitch to

Worst chess app ever!

I have been playing chess for years now and this is on of many chess apps I have but this on is the worst by far.
The games are designed to make you lost even if you are a good chess player. I am playing on the lowest level and still haven’t won a single game because the bot is made to play like a grandmaster. This is a good app for the people that like defeat and a challenges they know they are going to lose. If you are looking for a good chess app just download chess.com which has everything from puzzles and game analysis to help you get better and not feel like a loser. This app only has games with no analysis or puzzles or anything. It is a waste of time an I learned nothing from this app. Chess.com has mad me a better chess player not this horrible app.

Board keeps flipping

Often the board will flip after the move button is touched. It would be better if the flip function were removed.

Correction

Oh I see what was going on!

Good when it works

Sometimes the continuous analysis mode does not show analysis. Don’t know why. Had to reopen the app to get it works. Hope somebody can catch this bug.

Very good but confused about strength bar

Stockfish is very fun and helpful for chess but I am a little confused in what the strength bar means. Do the strengths have different ratings or something? And if so what are the ratings for each strength?

Terrible

Hasn’t been updated in forever and has poor difficulty adjustment settings. It is still too powerful on 1 and overly aggressive and not fun even when set to passive. This isn’t really useful for anything but cheating. The smallfish app makes a better analyzer.

Great but needs game save fix

Engine app crashes when you go to save it. On the latest iOS and iPhone 2021
So please fix this on app then is all else works well we are back to 5 stars. Need to be able to save and send games. When sending games can we add a animation of the whole game play. Also so we can imbed anywhere and also send in a sms when we save to our photos

Im having trouble sending the PGNs

When I press email to email the game, is not copying the anotations, just the game titles. Please fix

This is very hard to win

This is very hard to win

Still

Absolutely the best engine. Thank you Tord. Send him a Postcard.

Good but...

You are good but please check the “Analyze This” app & learn its options like :
-send (share ) pgn of game & ...

Abandonware

This app hasn't been updated for years which is a real shame.

I would like a better analysis tool for iOS, able to show and play out the best lines.

It’s just wrong

Sometimes, it’s just wrong. Suggests terrible moves and finds itself in losing positions. Get SmallFish or another chess engine instead. More consistent.
