DESCRIPTION
Use UptoPlay to play online the game Senior Chess.
Senior Chess is a simple but strong chess program. No ads will be shown. Senior Chess supports both landscape and portrait orientations.
Anyone familiar with the rules of chess can adjust the play level arbitrarily so that both the human player and the Android device have a fair chance to win. This is realized by setting a suitable relative frequency (0 - 100%) of "odd moves" that the app will produce instead of normal, strong moves. This feature makes Senior Chess especially interesting if you play at a moderate level and don't want to lose every game. Even if you are an absolute beginner, you can win: just let 100% of all moves be weak ones, as demonstrated in http://youtu.be/bw408-vBQxw. Besides the promo video above, there is also a video that shows a game of Senior Chess, playing White, against a very popular Android app, playing Black. The strength of the latter was set at its maximum level, which is about 20 s per move. Senior Chess was also given 20 s for each move in this game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZkAmr9a8qI
After opening a game from a file, an animation of the game is played, as demonstrated here:

With version 1.63 and higher, you can use a pre-defined set of test positions, as shown in

Comments:
Nice and simple chess app with no unecessary features. The included engine plays a decent game and does not repeat the same opening every game. The only thing I would really like is an option to keep the screen awake. A lot of times, I will start to think about the position and the screen will automatically dim and turn off after a little while unless I touch it which is a little annoying. Anways thanks for this awesome ad free chess app!!!
Simple and best chess app. Best engine. Positional advantage analysis . Positional game play instead of aggressive play. Only problem is not having redo buttom also to analysis mistake.
Nice App, Is it possible to make it compatible on a Chromebook? I have a Google Pixel Slate that can run Android apps, however Senior Chess does not work with this device.
Super app! The library of set positions to work from is a great valuable added bonus!! Thank You for a great opponent.
