It is the best free chess app available.

Good for beginners (1 star)
Too "lite" for even intermediate players. Not worth the price.

Great app!!! (5 stars)
t Chess Lite is not so "Lite"! I was looking for a chess game I could use on my iPhone and iPad and this one really delivers. The interface is clean and elegant. The computer AI is not very challenging at 800 (the default) but it's easy to increase the level. I am not a chess expert but I can't beat level 1000 without taking moves back. Hardcore chess players may want the "Pro" version. I would buy this app again without
