Chess & Variants for Android

Many chess variants are here, including some I have never seen. I have only played against the computer so far. No problems at all.

Pretty good app for Jockly. I am using an Android 6 but I have a difficult time getting to my tables. It comes up quickly and crashes. I can follow an email link for my turn to a game without a problem. Wish this bug would be fixed. Also when playing mini chess variants like "chess attack" the square colors do not change when you invert the view (say you are playing the black piece s). This is because a standard 8x8 chess board always has a black square to the players lower left but this is not the case in a 5x6 variant. It would be nice if this could be fixed.

Plays great, super fun game with tons of interesting variants, including Shatranj!!!!!!! Anyway, I would give it 5 stars, but the reading the descriptions and rules is a little buggy as you can't scroll down sometimes, and also the fact that they somehow forgot to put Tamerlane Chess in there. But hey, it's an awesome app, more than worth the nothing that you pay for it (which is also pretty awesome), and everyone should get it. But seriously guys, put Tamerlane Chess in the next update and you get 5 stars.

Great game for playing lots of variants, but a lot of the games' rules won't scroll on the Android, so you can't see them, which is obviously a problem.

Since I'm the 1st person who has written a review for this app so far, I'm sure that you're actually going to take the time to read what I have to say, unlike all the reviews I've written for other apps (which were popular enough to be getting reviews written every other second) which I'm sure were probably just ignored. But I digress. I have a (sort-of Captain Obvious) suggestion of something you could do to help improve your app. You could search Wikipedia (more thoroughly than you already have) and Google (for websites other than Wikipedia) to find even more versions/variations/styles of chess such as Shogi, Endgame Chess, Parallel Worlds Chess, Suicide Chess, Einstein Chess, Extinction Chess, Gryphon Chess, Mock Chess, Rejection Chess, Take-All, 3-Check Chess, Unirexal Chess, Progressive Chess, Double Chess, Four-way Chess, 'Maharajah and the Sepoys', Pole Chess, and even Chessers... Just a thought...
