8 of 25Deep Green has been a favorite since my Newton. Great chess game that is well designed.
I find simplicity the strongest point for this app. Good job from the developer on graphics and sound. Attention to detail without overwhelming just as chess is intended to be played.
The worst update ever
Deep Green is a stellar game, if not the best of the chess games available anywhere for not much green. If you are looking for a game with brilliant offerings, one of my favorites is the manual setup option, than search no farther. Please do yourself a favor and pay the price for this game.
This previously beautiful chess game was completely ruined by an utterly tasteless and unimaginative redesign. Deep Green Chess is now a pathetic and shallow black & white, and is riddled with flaws and crashes. Look elsewhere, chess lover... there's nothing to see here!
Simple. Gorgeous. Perfect.
This is 8 dollars thrown away...after about 10 moves the program refuses to make another move, apparently content to just crash...again and again.
This chess app is the best I've found. I'm not a strong player - so the lower levels allow me to have some less strenuous matches. I can also ratchet up the brains for a real challenge. I also appreciate the developer continually not charging again for the added functionality of new screen sizes. I enjoy using this chess program and am very happy the money I spent went to such a great developer. (Rotating the iPad is one of the best easter eggs I've seen in iOS for some time - so beautiful and delightful!)
