I do not see any visual change with version 1.7 of Chess however, there were a ton of bug fixes (more then I can even begin to describe!). If you would like to see a complete list of all the fixes check out the full change log. Chess is available through both the Robota Software source.

There are a few new features in the update to Chess 1.6. The most obviously is the addition of an undo button in the lower right corner of the app. Now, instead of having to go into the Actions menu and selecting Undo…you can just tap the Undo arrow at the bottom on the page!! Undo is still available in the Action menu though, I find that is does weird things. The Undo button at the bottom on the screen undoes the last two moves (the last move of each player) but, the Undo button in the Actions menu will only undo the last move, which doesn’t seem like a problem but, it is because when you only undo one move…it is then the computers turn to move again but it doesn’t realize it and makes you move which switches which player you are from white to black.

The update to Chess version 1.5 does not have any visual changes that I can see…maybe you guys that play chess more often than I do(which is never, I’m really bad at Chess!!) see a change…let me know in the comments!

There are a few visual changes with the update to 1.4. If you tap on Setting you will notice a new option – Show Last Move..you are able to turn it on or off . Also, in the option Board Layout, the layouts Brown and Funky have been replaced with Stone and Laminate. Even the Basic and the Wood layouts seem to look a little different then in the previous version even though they have the same title. There have also been some additions to the Actions option. Back on the main screen…if you tap on Actions in the upper left corner you will notice three new options; Load.., Save.. and Mail.. Load… will bring you to a list of all of the files for the Chess games you have saved, you can then select any of the games and it will load it into the play screen (this is unlike the Load option which loads only your last game). Save… allows you to change the title of the file when you save your game (unlike the Save option which just automatically saves your game without the ability to change the title of the file). Mail… will bring you to the list of your saved Chess files and when you tap on one will export it as a .PNG image to an email. Another visual change [Read more…]
