User Reviews for SmallFish Chess for Stockfish
Best Stockfish App
This is definitely the best Stockfish app out there. Highly recommend.The only problem I’ve noticed is that the best move arrow often does not match with the actual best move as provided by the analysis. Also, sometimes the three lines of analysis are not ordered by their actual strength. Other than that, amazing app with very active development.
Outstanding Tool
This thing is simply amazing! A must-have for any serious or aspiring Chess player. It used to be, in my experience, that a phone app couldn't match up to a program on a computer. I have this app on my lap(tablet)top and on my phone and it performs just the same. Extremely strong! You can see several lines simultaneously. Truest a great study/strengthening tool. The fact that it's free, well, it's just outstanding...!
New additions?
Could you please add personality, adjustable search depth, and more evaluation lines (10)! This app is literally the best out there but these are all features I have desperately wanted in one app but haven’t been able to find in an all in one package. Thank you for all your hard work! This app already is the best, but these features would blow the competition out of the water.
As a beginning chess player . . .
I love that the grapg function will show me every time I make a bad move and then, with the scroll bar, I can take that bad move back and try something else (hopefully, with a better rating on the graph). With these two tools working in tandem and providing feedback, I can teach myself how to read the board and use intelligent strategy.
Opponent always runs out of time.
No matter what I do in the options, I always win because my opponent runs out of time. The game continues, however, even though the clock is 0.00 so that’s a good thing. This issue starts immediately: playing white pieces, I play 1. d4, black always immediately plays either d5 or f6; I play 2. c4 . . . . black “thinks” 20-40 seconds before making a second move, usually c5. Really? As long as 40 seconds to make the second move. And that “thinking” exists throughout the game. For instance, black offers a queen trade: I accept. Then black deliberates 20, 30, etc. seconds whether or not to capture my queen when there is obvious nothing to deliberate. Hardly a realistic or enjoyable scenario.
Set up position
Can some assist me with this question when I let small fish analyze my games to check for blunders, it tells me that I made a blunder so I remove it and when I go back to correct it based on its analysis and I do the blunder check again. It tells me to go back to the move it just told me not to do to me that’s inconsistency at its fullest.
Well designed app - update
After updating to ios13.6, it seems that there are graphic issues (piece alignment to the board, coordinates alignment to the board). None of these are impediments to using it, but are annoying.Please update!*Having tried many chess apps, I consider this app to be excellent! Most chess enthusiasts say that the only decent chess games were developed for PC. Until finding this app I thought that was true. My preferred choice has been Chess Master- Grandmaster edition (pc version), which I used for more than 10 years. This app is certainly the best contender yet!
One of the best!
As good as if not better than almost everything out there regardless of platform. I use this to analyze all of my games whether OTB or online. I love that it shows multiple lines with each move. Trust me when I say that it's hard to find anything as robust and user-friendly on PC (eg, Lucas Chess can run Stockfish but I haven't been able to configure the settings to display multiple lines during analysis). And hats off for an exceptional (and appropriate) privacy policy! This app is a gem and must-have for chess enthusiasts of every level. Not convinced by my endorsement? SmallFish is recommended by the Stockfish team via the official website. -14 Pro Max on iOS 16.1.x
I will just use Stockfish
I don’t know what the advantages of this app are over stock fish. it says in the description review your game with comments. That’s leading me to believe that it annotate’s my game…. it does not. Yes you can analyze your game with comments if you leave those comments. So it lets you write your own comments in a game. Next I load one of the grandmaster games. The game shows annotations but soon as you make the move the annotations disappear. If I’m doing something wrong, please explain it to me and I will change my review. Which brings up another point. The app is not user-friendly at all.
Free
I find SmallFish difficult to navigate(the HIARCS app is very intuitive but not free of charge). Also I believe SmallFish does not display number of positions looked at per second as the regular Stockfish app does. Stockfish is free and easy to use. Another issue is that I can’t see whether the endgame tablebase I downloaded is installed on SmallFish, or how to verify that SmallFish is using them( I think a red TB is displayed WHILE the table base is in use). But If true that it’s Elo ~3300 on iphones, that’s pretty cool. If u mostly need the very strongest app, at the cost of some features smallfish is the one to get.
