Buggy app, always crashes
App always crashes when you try starting a new game or change setting.
United StatesJust gives us a refresh and update
It’s working good. Nice platform and image. But it’s about time just to refresh and update. PLEASE! I’m giving it 5 stars now, because it’s still very good.

United StatesAlmost perfect
For a 1.4 MB app very strong!! Of course stockfish and other engines are stronger but for the average under 2300 players is perfect for practicing. Love it!! Amazing work for the creator Wish it was updated so it could take advantage of iOS file app features to easy transfer and access files instead of iTunes very slow and annoying Highly recommend it to u2200 players who need a sparring partner to practice or learn new opening lines
United StatesPluses and minuses on interface
There are a lot of options for chess engines. The icons for the pieces need an upgrade here. I found only one of six appealing. Two have lo res graphics, which is unacceptable for a premium priced app. One set is ugly, and the Russian set is two shades of grey, without enough contrast. The list of captured pieces is nice, and surprisingly missing from a lot of other apps.
United StatesA portable Full-Strength chess engine
Hands down the best chess related thing you can have on your phone. When used thoughtfully this is a powerful learning tool that world champions would kill for back in the day. A must purchase for chess enthusiasts.
United StatesLongtime fan
Chess Genius is a great app. On my iPhone 6s when playing strength is set to "instant" and permanent brain off, CG beats Hiarcs set to 2300 on my iPad Air 2. One area of improvement might be to adjust the playing level options or dynamically adapt the level descriptions to the power of the CPU/GPU because the first level after easy is now master on the latest iPhone. Thanks for all the hours of chess fun and learning.
