Chess Pro and Chess Lite
Chess is one of the oldest and most popular games of all time. It always appears on new gaming platforms and the iPhone, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch are no exception. 99Games has released two different chess games: Chess Pro and Chess Lite.
Before continuing with this review I want to let you know that I am not a very good chess player. In fact, I suck. Unlike some people who seem to be able to think ten moves ahead, I am rather slow and stupid when it comes to planning my moves. I tend to simply react or move my pieces and pray that the other player does something rash that I can take advantage of.
Chess Lite provides chess for the casual player but only in 2D graphics.
Once in a while this strategy works as my totally off-the-wall strategy and utter lack of planning occasionally takes a more experienced player off-guard. They cannot, for the life of them, understand why I just made a particular move and they are sure that there’s a grand strategy behind it. Of course there isn’t and inevitably they find that out and then wipe the floor with me.
Chess Lite
Since not everybody is a chess guru, 99Games has come up with a light version of their chess game for neophytes and casual players. The game is 2D only, however, unlike its pro counterpart. Personally I don’t mind the 2D graphics as I tend to be a very casual chess player anyway and I learned long ago not to judge a game by its graphics. Some of the best looking games ever created have also been some of the worst.
Chess Lite comes with the following features:
1 Difficulty Level – Medium
1 Variant – Regular
Play Mode – Against iPhone or 2 Players
Board Flip 2 Player Mode
1 Theme – 2D
Save Game – Up To 5
Resume Game
