Senior Chess 2.04 [free]

Senior Chess is a simple but strong chess program. No ads will be shown. If internet connection is available, the best move in endgame positions with at
most five pieces will be found in an online table base. Internet connection will not be used for any other purpose. This treatment of certain endgames is interesting not
only in real games but also in positions set up in edit mode or imported from fen files, available via the Options menu. Senior Chess supports both landscape and portrait
orientations.
Anyone familiar with the rules of chess can adjust the play level arbitrarily so that both the human player and the Android device have a fair chance to win. This is
realized by setting a suitable relative frequency (0 - 100%) of "odd moves" that the app will produce instead of normal, strong moves. This feature makes Senior Chess
especially interesting if you play at a moderate level and don't want to lose every game. Even if you are an absolute beginner, you can win: just let 100% of all moves be
weak ones, as demonstrated in http://youtu.be/bw408-vBQxw
Besides the promo video above, there is also a video that shows a game of Senior Chess, playing White, against a very popular Android app, playing Black. The strength of
the latter was set at its maximum level, which is about 20 s per move. Senior Chess was also given 20 s for each move in this game:
