nice UI, weak engine and crashes too often I wish I could try this application before buying it. Big mistake. The UI is nice but overall this is horrible- It doesn't understand what a "draw" is after 3 repeative moves- Chess engine is too weak and if you increase its level, it crashes too often!!- No way of telling when chessmate- If you miss "touching" a piece and move your finger, it flips the board! - Sent crash reports to developer and never never got any response back.If I'd, I want my money back.

Nice but too weak for my needs I currently own 3 chess programs: Caissa, tChess Pro and Deep Green.As of Dec. 2008, Deep Green has the weakest engine of the 3 and has some UI bugs. It is nice and has minimal fuss on screen. But then it lacks several on-screen data like move list for those who wants to do problems or really improve their skills.So, if you are looking for a nice chess program to play occasionally, chances are that the engine level will be more than sufficient for you and you’ll love it.For more serious amateurs, I would not recommend it in its current version : there is more powerful engines available.

Deep Green Flaws The game does not recognize when there is insufficient material to mate. It also does not allow for a draw or stalemate.

Needs more work! Not yet worth the price. Don't fall for all these 5-star reviews. Yes, this is a great start but for $4.99 it should at least have sounds and some indication of "check" and "checkmate". I'm hoping an update arrives soon with these improvements but until then I feel like I've wasted 5 bucks.

Graphically appealing with... ...a pretty strong chess engine. There is only one thing missing: it does not show you the depth of your move which my other favorite chess app, tChess Pro does. But this app has better graphics and I don't really know which one is the stronger engine b/c I am the worst chess player who ever lived....

No Humans Here This is why every app should have a free trial. A dumbed down AI is not "human". I hate playing chess with computers. Chess With Friends is much better, and it's free. What a waste of $5.

Very, very disapointing Sorry to say, but just don't buy it. Not worth it. It's not 1 star only for the appearance, which is pretty cool. But I can't choose level of difficulty, having a hard time find how to stop playback mode (useless by the way). For free I got Glaurung Chess, which is far superior. If I could, I'd just get my money back. Can I?

there is better stuff take glaurung chess instead; it enables you to save or email your game and it has a nice analysis function. I prefer it even if Deep Green seems to have a stronger engine.
