Chess-wise 3: The Ultimate Chess Experience
Chess-wise 3 is a comprehensive chess application that offers a wide range of features to enhance your chess playing experience. Developed by Marcel J Nijman, this free app is available exclusively for iPhone users.
With Chess-wise 3, you can not only play chess but also analyze games, annotate game notations, play online, solve exercises, and watch training videos. The program represents games as trees, allowing for side-lines and preventing analysis moves from overwriting the main game moves.
One of the notable improvements in Chess-wise 3 is the new annotation screen, which allows you to add comments and use symbols like !! or ?? to evaluate moves. The communication with the FICS server has also been completely rewritten, resulting in a more stable experience. Additionally, the FICS interface now supports multiple accounts, iMessage-like chatting, and a friend list.
The database has been improved to allow re-ordering of games in a PGN file, and the setup screen now allows you to move pieces on the board. The opening and endgame browser also feature landscape views, displaying the possible moves next to the board for better visualization.
Chess-wise 3 provides access to over 250 links to free training videos, allowing users to enhance their skills and learn new strategies. The app also includes a separate screen to select the orientation of the pieces when playing with two players, ensuring a customizable experience.
Each screen in Chess-wise 3 has been thoughtfully redesigned to prioritize the main actions users want to perform, resulting in a better user experience overall. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, Chess-wise 3 offers a comprehensive set of tools to improve your chess skills.
