Chess is an engaging strategic game that tests patience and mental strength. Chess can be used as a great way to develop thinking skills while sharpening mental capabilities – and is also great for passing the time when you’re bored or simply want to stretch your brain muscles!
Android devices now feature numerous free two player offline chess games, such as Classic Chess, Chess – Classic, and 3D Chess, that provide the classic board chess experience without the internet connection. Each of these titles stands out with unique features and can be played against either another person on your device, or against the computer.
Each game allows you to save in PGN format, which can be opened by any chess program that supports this standard. In addition, your game in progress can also be saved so that you can resume later. Furthermore, this app features an inbuilt Tactics Trainer so that you can practice your tactics against an artificial intelligence opponent.
The user interface (UI) of this app is intuitive and easy to navigate, offering two play styles against the computer: Easy and Hard modes – Easy mode is slightly easier than the traditional GarboChess variant, while Hard requires skills level over 2500 to participate.
If you are playing against another person on the same device, the game allows both of you to decide whether to rotate the board. There is also an auto-rotation option which will orient the board in one direction automatically. Furthermore, different colors can be assigned for each side of the board which aid in reading moves more easily.
