Size 8. Category Games. Compatibility iPhone Requires iOS 5. Mac Requires macOS Languages English. Price Free. App Support. Family Sharing With Family Sharing set up, up to six family members can use this app. The game graphics are clear, so you can easily see which pieces are where. Generally, the program stays very true to the classic game of chess. Remind yourself of good decisions you made earlier by checking the history of your moves, a feature that is only available in an electronic version.
The game is let down by its limited opponent. You can only play against the computer on different settings. There is no option to play online or against friends, which is where this app could really come into its own. This rules out a vast number of potential players who want to change the language setting. There are many alternatives that offer more features and accessibility to players around the world.
As soon as you start a new game, Free Chess lets you choose one of ten difficulty levels ranging from Beginner to Impossible. Most players probably won't notice much difference in the top three or four tiers of difficulty, however; even the Easy setting can put up a decent fight. Complete beginners to the game will still be out of luck, unfortunately, as there is no tutorial mode. In addition to selecting the level of difficulty, the starting screen for Free Chess also lets players choose which side they want to play white or black.
You can also set the computer to battle itself if you just want to spectate and watch sparks fly. Lastly you can set the game for player vs player instead of involving the AI at all. Unlike BabaChess, Free Chess does not support online multiplayer. Electing to play human vs human simply allows the user local control over both the white and black pieces. While it's disappointing that Free Chess has no online component this human vs human mode can suffice when two people don't have a physical board handy, or if they want to demonstrate a strategy without playing.
The sound effects in Free Chess are grating and distracting, sounding more like the ugly alarm tones for a cell phone. Luckily you can turn them off via the game options menu. Here you'll also have a selection of four different languages English, Spanish, Catalan, and Basque , though there could easily have been more; this is a chess simulator after all; there's not much text involved. The options menu also allows for users to toggle in-game music on or off.
The readme file included with Free Chess links to a free catalogue of classical music that would go nicely with a soothing game of chess. At the time of writing this review, however, the music does not appear to play. It's easy enough to cue up music to play in the background, though, so this isn't too big of a detriment.
