I play chess on Chess-wise 3, an [old] iPad iOS 5.1.1 --it's brilliant when you learn to configure it & view full menu screen in Landscape mode ! Took me a while to figure it out --disabled "Smart Move Entry" & now it's similar to Chess.com's app. Anyway I'm glad it works on my [ancient] iOS 5.1.1 OS since it's FUBAR'd & won't let me update my OS --anyway no biggie since this one has plenty of features (Openings\Endgames\Chess People et. al.) & no noticeable borders; before, I ran into some problems (User Interface is cumbersome to figure out), had to deselect a black icon in upper area. Runs brilliantly now tho --the screen can be widened to fullscreen & it's a cool distraction-free feature that fills the whole screen ! No problem switching between Black & White. You need the iPad on Landscape mode to experience the full benefit tho.

Nevermind that, I play Chess Prime HD Free [by Vinta Games] now, it's great fun & lets me win ! It only works in portait mode tho, which is weird.
