Simply Chess presents the classic chess board game, letting you play as either side in a match against the computer or another player.
Play locally, online, or in hot-seat pass-and-play on one computer. Online matches can be asynchronous, so you can take turns even when your opponent is offline.
Choose from 100 AI difficulty levels, switch between 2D and camera-controlled 3D views, and use mouse and keyboard or a controller. Online games include Elo ratings and leaderboard rankings.
Some reviewers appreciate Simply Chess as a straightforward way to practice, including the range of AI difficulty levels and its chess-like play; one also praises the 3D appearance. Others report slow or buggy behavior, ads, and usability issues such as missing move takebacks or hard-to-distinguish pieces. Several reviews also complain that the game is no longer available on the store.
