Using the iChess App

The iChess app lets you play chess against your iPhone or against another person by turning your iPhone into a chess board, as shown in Figure 51-1. Just drag a piece around the board with your finger to move it to a new location.

If you want to customize the iChess app, just tap the icon in the lower-right corner of the screen, which resembles two gears. This displays the iChess screen, where you can choose the color you want to control (black or white), define the difficulty level of the game, change the appearance of the board, display a clock to time your moves, and show you statistics about your games, as shown in Figure 51-2.
