Pros & Cons:
Pros
- Play Chess in 3D
- Easy, Medium and Hard levels of AI difficulty
Cons
- The game loads rendering screen every time you switch orientation
Features:
AndroidKnight Game is a 3D Chess game. Spin and zoom the game board to get a better look at pieces. It features 3 difficulty levels. Playing in landscape offers the best view.
Slight Gripe Alert: would be cool if the zoom took advantage of multi-touch to perform Pinch-Zoom or even Double Tap to zoom in and out of the board for Android 2+ phones. Switching portrait and landscape modes requires the app to re-render every time.
