Then, Kai, If you like Teodora you must read Secret History by Procopius,. very lascivious information for people like us, at the same time scholarly and lubricious.

Testudo regards

Do you or anyone know if ChessPro/Tiger by Christophe Theron is available for other mobile devices? (I don't have an Ipad).

Thanks,
CL
Hi Carl,

As Fernando mentioned Christophe does have ChessPro for Iphone and I think Palm as well as Ipad. he has unfortunately not put it out on the Android platform.

I would love to see a new Chesstiger on PC as well! But it does seem like he is targeting mobile devices. And to reiterate I LOVE this APP!

Attractive GUI without being ostentatious.

LOTS of training levels.

ATTRACTIVE playing style.

Great options for learning while you play or go over one of your own games. Fairly interactive in this regard!

STRONG enough! When I double check with Houdini only rarely does Houdini refute the Chesstiger moves!

And instructive because of its style!

This is the app I play with and use to go over my games.
Hi Tom,

Did you unlock the 2700 Elo function in this application !?

Hey Dr. D!

No I didn't know that was possible. Do you mean for sparring partner?
Is it a level that one has to attain to unlock it?

Thanks!

Dr.Wael uses the free version of the app and needs to unlock certain features not available in the full version.

This is well said, Fern.
At best I was a club player (rougly 1600 at best), and these 3000+ programs are just hard to relate to. It's not just elo that would make me open my wallet, especially in this economy. I do like the chessmaster series also.

Hi,

Well,you have to defeat the chess engine using a handicapped options rather on time or material and only then it will unlock the 2700 Elo level for analysis purposes.......

At least that's what I understand from banner that keeps annoying me when I use the program for analysis when I'm at work,night shift that is....

For more information read about it in the AppStore....

Otherwise,it's playing on the 2100 Elo level regards,

I will NOT ever purchase Ipad things and in fact anything of that kind, those mobile contrivances....at most I would buy a netbook, if I do need it one day, which i do not believe.
