This game is really getting on my nerves. The AI is all over the place. I was on level 3 and had a 40% win rate. I went up to level 4 and it was super challenging but I started to get better and began racking up wins. It asked me if I wanted to move up but I decided to stay at 4 cuz I would still lose if I wasn't patient and playing smart. Then all of a sudden, it spiked in difficulty and just began crushing me over and over. Now I can barely get a win. It's infuriating how inconsistent it is.

Levels are calibrated against each other and other chess apps for a pretty uniform Elo distribution, with a more human style of weakening than most other chess engines, but different human play styles may find some cpu styles and strategies easier than others. Please try Tutor and Hint (? on Menu) to ease this issue and improve your game.

This superb app is not just the best chess app out there -- believe me, I've tried over a dozen of them -- it's a major reason why I stay on Android. Nobody is better than AI Factory. The gameplay is a pleasure, with a pleasant environment customizable to a multitude of different appearances including my favorite, a red/amber checkerboard and elegantly simple black and white icon pieces, and allow single, partner, or internet human opponent play. Casual mode is great for learning, with a tutor available to suggest logical or even deeply brilliant moves, as well as to show pieces in danger, allow unlimited "take-it-back" undoing of moves. The CPU can operate at a 1-10 level of difficulty to provide you incrementally more challenging gameplay as you learn. A beautifully designed and marvelous app that's not just a great way to learn the game, but a work of art!

I didn't like the free version of this app. The ads were annoying and would often cause it to crash. The pay version is very nice. It offers many graphics options and sensible AI levels to play. I have beaten up to level 8. But still struggle to beat level 3 consistently. I think this offers me the opportunity to get better through experimentation. Rather then constantly being discouraged by the swift defeats from very difficult AIs.
