Review: Chess With Friends for iPhone
“The first thing you should know about Chess With Friends is that it does not require you to have any friends with whom to play chess. Chess With Friends or Random Acquaintances would be a cumbersome and stupid name, but it describes the app best—and highlights its appeal. It’s the next best thing to wandering down to the park or local café and sitting down with a stranger for a game.”
