Assist Chess

Assist Chess

Assist Chess is intended for beginner to intermediate players to help them make the best move. Too often have I lost a lost a chess piece or made a dumb move because I couldn't see that it was being attacked. With this, players have to worry less about checking every piece and more on the strategy. The objective of Assist Chess is to provide enough useful information to inform the player, but not too much as to choose a move for you or be overwhelming.
