The paid version is well worth it, smooth play, I like the AI, the piece and board customization is crisp and multiplayer is a welcome change of pace from rated online games. My one complaint is that you cannot offer a draw to a human opponent on online multiplayer. Also, it would be cool if players could be paired based on their ratings against the CPU or if it would at least display CPU rating or wins and losses against human opponents.

I've used Chess Pro to play quick games for years. It has lots of options like piece sets, boards and backgrounds, saving games, copying games to clipboard to analyze in other programs. It plays with a very human-like style. It's well worth the money to remove the ads.

This superb app is not just the best chess app out there -- believe me, I've tried over a dozen of them -- it's a major reason why I stay on Android. Nobody is better than AI Factory. The gameplay is a pleasure, with a pleasant environment customizable to a multitude of different appearances including my favorite, a red/amber checkerboard and elegantly simple black and white icon pieces, and allow single, partner, or internet human opponent play. Casual mode is great for learning, with a tutor available to suggest logical or even deeply brilliant moves, as well as to show pieces in danger, allow unlimited "take-it-back" undoing of moves. The CPU can operate at a 1-10 level of difficulty to provide you incrementally more challenging gameplay as you learn. A beautifully designed and marvelous app that's not just a great way to learn the game, but a work of art!
