Chess Watch! on Apple Watch

Post by BB+ » Thu Apr 30, 2015 6:18 am

I can't be interested that in this myself, but:

The 1st and only playable Chess game on Apple Watch, Chess Watch!
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/chess-w ... 81296?mt=8

Play by voice on Apple Watch or by touch on iPhone.

Et cetera.
Chess Watch! is a bust so far. Stuck on loading with the apple watch and the iPhone interface is horrid. Most of all the kings are on the D file. What the hell is that?
Indeed, the photo at the above link does show the kings on d1 and d8. Then again, at one point I think they were going to for 6x6 (I forget whether the knights or bishops, or maybe one of each, would be removed). Also: (NOTE: Update coming soon with improved checking engine. For now, completing a game requires the winner to actually capture a King or for the looser to Forfeit.)

And this one lets you watch chess on your watch (I think): http://www.watchchessapp.com/
