Description
Been playing Next Chess Move for a couple months now. It’s basically a chess calculation app that runs a ton of different engines right on your device. Pretty solid if you’re into strategy games and want to analyze positions like a pro.
Here’s what you do – you can set up chess positions and get super detailed analysis, evaluations, and move suggestions from engines like Stockfish, Lc0, and a bunch of others. There’s also a cool puzzle mode where you try to find the best move. Took me a while to figure some of that out but it’s pretty useful.
Look, if you’re into chess and want an app that can really dig deep into positions, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the UI can be a bit clunky at times – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you’re a chess nerd like me.
Editor Opinion
So here's my take on Next Chess Move. I've tested a bunch of chess apps and this one's pretty solid. The engine selection is crazy - you get Stockfish, Lc0, and tons of other top engines to analyze positions with. And that level of depth is great if you're into that kind of thing. On the downside, the app can be a little overwhelming at first and the interface is not the most intuitive. But once you get the hang of it, it's a really powerful tool. I'd say it's a must-have for serious chess players, but casual fans might find it a bit too complex.
