in iPhone App Review: Caissa Chess Versus Chess Classic on menooB
This review made my day. There is imposed limit for thinking at level 14, it does not think for more than 10 sec or it doesn't ponder while you thinking (to preserve your battery life). I don't know if you noticed, but caissa hardly affects your battery life even if you playing hours. Caissa knows about 2500 chess openings in its database and changes its strategy based on previous results. It has self improving algorithm that collects statistics and prevents from repeating once made mistakes.
"Drag and drop" with offset was designed for one hand operation(if you ride NYC subway like me you'd love it). The trick is to hold your phone and operate with thumb. Classic chess was ported from a different platform, and Caissa is native to the platform. Hence the difference in size 72 vs 1.6 MB. They need to run virtual machine that is capable running iphone 5.5G soft on iphone.
In version 2.1.1 games can be exported to PGN and chess players can play against their opponents via email. Few more features are shaping as we speak.
