What is the best free chess program for Android?
What is the best free chess program for Android such as Samsung Galaxy S8+? A free chess program that allowed you to set up position and also let you play both sides of the board not just always against the engine? And what would the rating be approximately with Samsung S8+ ?
Who is 17 years old GM Gukesh 2nd at the Candidate in Toronto?
