Imperial Chess for Android

The Maia chess engine does not play like a human being. Even at Elo rating 1100 it plays more like a chess engine. The developer need to change the following settings for Maia in the UCI configuration file in order for Maia to play like a human. - cpu threads = 1 - mini batch-size = 1 - max-prefetch = 0 - nodespersecondlimit = 0.001

Lots of bugs. Game crashes easily, sometimes when you aren’t even doing anything. National errors: game castled kingside but notated it “o-o-o.” There’s a setting to identify openings but it didn’t work. Games often don’t save, even though it claims the games are saved. I love the multi-engine feature, but the interface has issues unacceptable for a serious chess player.

nice chess game...

Leela at “1000” plays *way* better than 1000 ELO. How was this calibrated? I’d like to see some games vs 1100-1200 FIDE players. For example, if I play the English this “1000” ELO opponent not only plays well, but uses the most critical lines of almost every variation. I don’t think a 2200 player could improve upon the first 5-10 moves. Odd variations… no problem. You should see it play a rook endgame. Laughable.

It’s chess why does this overheat the phone?
