Shredder Chess app good for
Really excellent program! It does exactly what you want it to.
The latest update totally clears up all the glitches which recently appeared and for which the Shredder people bust a gut sorting them out. Now it works 100% correctly and if youre looking for an excellent game of chess you couldnt do better than Shredder. And the Shredder people are very, very user friendly too. Stop looking for the ideal chess game, youve just found it.
For serious chess players, this app is right at the top of the pile with ChessGenius and Glaurung. The puzzles and adaptive difficulty mode make for an engaging experience that will keep you coming back for more.
(And I like the little arrow meter.)
I read all the reviews on the US iTunes store (26!) and all gave at least 4 stars but everyone is harping about not being able to save and load games. This is untrue, read the notes, its very easy. Small quip, I like the gameplay in Glaurung better, the jiggling pieces are silly and distracting. Everyone else has covered all the bases in other reviews,, nuff said.
The puzzles are good. Worth the money, as I use this more than chess genius now. Would like to see a collection of annotated games but thats not a failing of the program, just wishful thinking. Solid interface, too.
Shredder for iPhone is fantastic! It is clearly the very best chess app available for playing against your iPhone. Breath-taking graphics, great options and the finger interface with the piece popping out forward of the finger a few millimeters is the most elegant solution to the problem of an adult finger covering the piece. Truly Excellent.
I know what I’m talking about. I have been immersed in the Palm, Java Phone and Blackberry worlds in the recent past and have used all of the chess programs available for those platforms. I have also purchased Chess Genius and Fritz for iPhone and feel that this is much superior.
The only way you could improve on this is if it connected to ICC or FICS, allowing you to play against other people around the world.
Yes you read that right, I have been playing Chess for 50 years ! In
High-School I became a hero for getting all the Students a half day off
( this was 1972 ) to listen to( that famous match from IceLand ) I was in
Grade 10 at that time and never lost a
Single game in those 3 years !
Shreeder has me ranked me at
ELO 2000 and I suppose I can say
that I have some exposure at playing
Computers because I have been playing them since they came on the
Market in 1980 , and have played a multitude since ! So I say THIS and
Hear me ( SHREEDER) is strongest
Computer chess opponent I have ever
Played !!! And I have played Fritz on
a high end Pentium Computer ! 2 or 3
years ago . I have yet to play Shreeder
any where near its highest setting I
Suppose because of that male ego
thing. At Shreeders setting I would
Be lucky to win 1 or 2 out of 10. I really
Believe Shreeder is the strongest out
There IPhone or high-end PC !
on
Some bad moments
You cannot just email the game moves to someone--they have to have Shredder as well. Would not have bought if they had stated that in their statement about the app.
I dld it and its in the iPhone format! I Have the iPad app and its great! But dont bother the this promotion if downloading for your iPad.
im not a very good chess player. but my friend can won the game(in the hardest mode and different play style) every time. he even moves faster than the program. he didnt use undo.
i wish Shredder is gonna update the program.
This app is constantly crashing, it wont open properly, every time I attemp to open it crashes. This app needs an urgent update
This app crashes whenever I open it, however this only occurs on iPhones.
I have it an extra star because its shredder. However, at least once a week the app crashes and wont open until I delete the app and reinstall it. The downside of this is I lose all saved progress. This happens on the iPhone 6 Plus. Its been happening for quite some time, its strange that the developers arent willing to fix this massive bug.
