Chess Remix - 장기 변형

Chastity's Chess Review: Chess Remix Strengths It offers standard Chess but also the largest list of variants of any game on Steam, including Chess960, Crazyhouse, Atomic, Absorption, Elimination, Capture the Leader, Losing Chess, Three Check Chess, Pocket Knights, Shatar, No Check Chess, En Passant is forced, and the ability to create customized rules of each of these. Also included are the 3 main Asian variants: Shogi, Xiangqi, and Janggi. Historical Chess games and other non-chess games like Tic-Tac-Toe and Checkers It offers a customizable theme appearance for backgrounds and pieces. Weaknesses Not all features are fully implemented, such as the "levels section". This will probably be fixed in future updates. The artificial intelligence is rather weak and may be okay for people who don't play very well but disappointing to skilled chess players. This AI can be improved using fairy stockfish if the developer wishes. Conclusion This game is worth the price if you are a hard core chess player or play other board games involving strategy. It's also for the creative types who want to make their own rules and create board games and test them with AI. I will update this review as needed when future updates are made.

I like to make chess variants that alter the rules in ways that are not possible here, but it’s as good as I could expect from an app. It would be cool if there were some other rules like, magnetic chess, anti-king, ultimate en passant, double move, and peace chess, ext. If there was more ways to combine the rules with each other that would greatly increase the possibilities for new games, but that can be difficult because sometimes rules clash and create new scenarios that require human creativity to solve. What if I want to move the opponents pieces, let pieces share a space, include a checker style capture, capture without moving, or play atomic crazyhouse chess? Overall this is a great app.

This is a really phenomenal app. It loses a star for a few quality of life issues. First, when selecting a Shogi pawn, the app thinks for about 20 seconds before showing the possible moves for a pawn. It should not take this long to calculate. Also, I wish there was a post-game evaluation bar, so you can see the state of the game and understand fluctuations. If these two things were implemented, I would have no problem paying $22 one time for premium.

Very cool game but it breaks and i cant do a turn sometimes. Also tic tac toe wont work for some reason.

This app really has a great idea. Being able to make your own variants of chess and create your own pieces with rules on how they move is great. But there does seem to be an issue with the way you actually make those rules. I may just be stupid, but when I go to make one and set up the way it should move, it doesn’t work the way it should. For example, I wanted to make a piece that could go four spaces forward, horizontally and diagonally. When you go to make a piece it gives you two options, simple and advanced. I used the simple one where it shows a board and you can put in how many spaces it can move, where a piece can jump to, and you can control whether its able to move or capture. So I set it to where it could slide four spaces forward horizontally and diagonally. But when I made a game to test out how the piece worked, the piece was only able to land on the space four squares forward. In the simple menu, it says that the piece should be able to land on any of the squares unless its path is obstructed. So clearly something isn’t working as intended there. The advanced piece settings are a little confusing as well, and I think that it would better to have the same screen as the simple option showing a board where you can press the buttons and see the squares where it should be able to move, which isn't in the advanced options. But I understand if thats somehow not possible. Overall thats just my small gripe about it and it’s possible that I just haven’t figured something out yet. I hope the developer sees this review and considers changing the movement controls of the advanced section to be like the simple one, so it’s easier to control how it moves while keeping the other cool options you have in the advanced section.

Help I’m giving you 5 stars but I can’t get in the game.

I’ve played Xiangqi and shogi on here. Love the app and the cute pieces. Only issue is the AI is on the weak side and the game is executed online and not local. But it can’t be beat in this niche.

Version 1.3.3 and 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 causes Xiangqi to randomly force close the app. Xiangqi and Alber's Courier and Grant Acedrex and Courier AI at easiest level take a long time to accept a move. Blue spinner usually just do nothing loops without indicating possible moves allowed. So I am not allowed to enter a move. Response time is either painfully slow or non-existant. Result is unplayable. Worked for me before the last three recent updates. Needs an Undo button too. Those media playback buttons exit the game instead of playing back the moves list as expected. I recommend these remixed settings as defaults: leaders cannot face, and pawns promote to Lost piece. iPad Air (1st generation) and version 12.x OS battery fast drains with a hot display while blue progress spinner dawdles.

Good but more variants and play, create for free, thanks!

The app is cool, however my main interest in it is to be able to play against the AI which isn’t currently particularly great because the AI is very weak. It doesn’t seem to calculate further than a single move in advance, as in regular chess it fell for simple forks with no compensation - another time it failed to take a minor piece with a pawn. If the AI were significantly improved (all that’s really necessary is some good calculation depth and piece weight assignments) then the app would be great.
