Overall a near perfect app. There’s only a couple of small things I’d love to see in this to make it perfect (for me anyway): - An import game from snapshots function- Removal of the “too many promoted pieces” limit when making a custom game. (Currently @ 14 per side, would like 16 a side)- Being able to place pawns on the 1st rank for puzzle purposesI like to be able to make up my own puzzles using this app and the limit is a bit of a hindrance but otherwise a great app.
My go-to Chess app

Nothing to complain about really. With decent play and puzzles this is a great offline chess app. If I could change one thing it would be to use standard algebraic notation.
Excellent

My favourite IPhone Chess implementation (and I’ve tried most of them).
Love it

I'm loving this app. Very full-featured. I especially like the way it adapts to your level of play and rates you - mind you the rating system is pretty generous when you consider it lets you take back moves in rated games! Strength-wise, any half decent chess engine should kill pretty much anyone except a master-level player, so it's a moot point for 99% of players. What's more interesting is the way it degrades it's play. I'm not quite convinced by Shredder's deliberate mistakes - it plays a strong game then drops some suicidal clanger. But it still makes for a fun, challenging game of chess, andhaving such a powerful analysis tool in one's pocket is terrific. Get it. The position setup feature gives it a big edge over Fritz, much as Fritz is king on the PC.
This update improves the Shredder Chess experience while keeping the classic features players rely on: adaptive strength, puzzles, coach, Elo rating and game analysis.
We have refreshed the interface, improved the overall feel of the app and made Shredder more comfortable to use on current iPhones.
