$19.99?? for chess :shock:

looks like Orneta all the way for $4.44

such a hard decision ;)

[Guest Gorskar]

Indeed. That new version looks nicer, but $19.99 :shock: :shock: :shock:

At $4.44 I'm happy with Orneta chess. 8)

[Guest midnight]

errr, actually they look identical (the chess peices that is), now who ripped off who???? :wink: or are these peices on the net in the public domain (that would explain a lot)

[Guest Gorskar]

Not quite identical:

But the ChessGenius pieces are are not worth an extra $15.55 in my book!

[Guest terminater2_uk]

yep, i'll stick with orneta

[Guest simon11]

As Orneta chess is not yet signed and I have not unlocked my phone.

I have purchased ChessGenius. This looks great to me. It has plenty of features and also has a full sized board option. I have only just downloaded it and I have not played a game yet. I think the price is still good value for a chess game that will give years of pleasure. Unlike some silly shoot em up that gets played a couple of times.

The graphics although 2D look great.

I will try Orneta as well when it is signed to compare. Why not at $4.00

I have just played a few games on the first few Easy levels. Unlike some chess games it is suitable for beginners as it does make odd mistakes to give the player a chance. I am not sure how usefull the chess Tutor is as it allowed me to give away several pawns before warning that I had put my queen in danger. It does seem to warn of major errors though. The hint mode will also be usefull to beginners.

I used to play a lot of chess but I have not played for about ten years.

I beat it easy on level 0. On level 1 I lost trying to have a quick game but won when thinking for a while. I am really going to enjoy this game.

It will take a far better player than me to tell you how usefull the Hard levels are though. I will be playing this a lot.

Great!!!
