With Chess-wise 3 you can play chess, analyse games, annotate game notations, play online, solve exercises, watch training videos and much more.

- Games are represented as trees, so they can have side-lines. This means when analysing moves, this will not anymore overwrite the moves of the main game
- On the new annotation screen, you can add comments and !! - or ?? to the moves
- The communication with the FICS server has been complete rewritten and is now much more stable
- The FICS interface has more features (support for multiple accounts, iMessage-like chatting, friend list)
- Improved database (re-order games in a PGN file) and setup screen (move pieces on the board)
- Landscape views for the opening and endgame browser, showing the possible moves next to the board
- Over 250 links to free training videos
- Separate screen to select the pieces orientation, when playing with 2 players
- Help file with tutorial for each major use case

Each screen has been re-designed to give a better user experience, focussing on the main actions that people want to do on that screen.

Any suggestions for further improvements (as well as bug reports) are welcome at [email protected]

Some bad moments

Please do something about all of the robots on your app or in FICS. If I wanted to play against a computer I would not log online.
please, add - "vibro and sound on move" - some changes color for chess-board.
Nice app, but if youre playing FICS you cannot prevent your opponent from keep on asking for takebacks when your time is going and you loose on time. This would be easily solved with a simple option that doesnt allow takeback requests.
This is an identical clone to the other app but just more unstable.
He did not bother to update his old app to latest version. Instead issued issued the update in a different app !!!!. Such attitude should be stopped. Certainly Ill not even bother to download this new app
This is a great app for annotation of games. I use it to study the various positions in my chess books while entering the moves. This app allows you to enter positions with annotations and various lines. It has a number of other features like 300 tactics. I hope in the future to see some in app purchases like an option to buy more tactical exercises, Opening database etc. This app is the best app I can see in the App Store to annotate games with multiple lines in pgn form. I have searched hard to find an app like this. I am a 2100 FIDE player and really enjoy the tool to improve my game. I upgraded to the pro version and felt like I should have paid more for such a quality chess app. Keep up the good work!!!!
