T Chess Lite

Шахматы — настольная логическая игра, сочетающая в себе элементы искусства, науки и спорта. Одна из древнейших игр на Земле, сохранившихся до нашего времени; долгое время считалась игрой королей и аристократов. Играется двумя игроками по определённым правилам. Широко распространено мнение, что шахматы способствуют развитию умственных способностей, памяти, творческого мышления.

Именно такое определение дает Википедия, если мы спросим у нее «шахматы».

Существует огромное множество толков вокруг этой игры. В основном, все, что я слышу – это насмешки над интеллектуальным видом спорта, откровенные намеки на то, что это вроде бы и не спорт вовсе. Может быть, я не в тех кругах вращаюсь, чтобы слышать постоянно о том, как мастерски один из знакомых сходил конем в той или иной партии?

Ничего не могу с собой поделать, но сам тоже иногда смеюсь над шахматистами. Да, я не профессионал, и речь ниже пойдет далеко не о профессиональном приложении для спортсменов и тех, кто себя к ним причисляет. Более того, разработчик, ответственный за релиз tChess Lite. как раз для таких неискушенных игроков как я и выпустил облегченную версию своей доски.

Кто бы знал, как давно я ждал таких шахмат! Беглый чуть ли не ежедневный поиск в AppStore по запросу «chess» постоянно выдавал мне гору приложений ценой в $9.99. Но вот-вот, кажется, появилось что-то новое, недорогое, ан нет, оказывается это версия без AI, рассчитанная на игру через WiFi, который, в принципе то, не просто не везде, а практически нигде. Да и попробуй, просиди где-нибудь на одном месте часа три, пытаясь закончить одну лишь партию с каким-нибудь мега-мозгом, думающим над каждым ходом минут по пять-десять.

Но все это уже в прошлом сейчас, с приходом вышеупомянутого приложения, пришли и кардинальные изменения.

Говоря об AI, хотелось бы отдельно отметить, что разработчик его в облегченной версии урезал. В наборе нет самых «умных» уровней сложности. Да это и не беда, многим это и не нужно. Я, например, поигрываю в шахматы для удовольствия, а не для того, чтобы доказать всем, что я могу. Предпочитаю, так сказать, меряться другими величинами.

В целом за 99 центов имеем именно то, что было обещано в релизе и это одни из немногих шахмат, в которых мне удалось выиграть с первой партии.

Для продвинутых существует версия t Chess Pro: $7.99 [iTunes link ]
