    Best of the Chess apps for Windows Phone. Try before you buy with the free ad supported version. Once you are convinced, come back and pony up your three bucks to support devs that make apps that aren't total ****.

    Wish I could mock play beyond the current move. And a live tile with the latest chess board snapshots would be killer!

    Great app. Should have an option for blitz mode.

    I enjoy this chess app. I play with my friends and they also like it. I have been using thus since one month and so far I did not find any issues or bugs. It allows us to play with ranked players and depending on our wins, the app matches harder players.
