Hey Guys,
I just played my first game against Shredder. I went twenty moves before I gave
it up. But I’m going to start another one here in a minute.
I think I could get hooked on this app pretty quickly. I know it’s not the same
as playing against a human, but it’s a lot of fun and there are no points on
the line, as well as being great to be able to take moves back and get hints if
I want.
I just had a few questions.
Firstly, does anyone know what this Evaluation number means? It seems to change
every time I look at it. Currently it says Evaluation 3.68 after my 20th move.
Also, is there a manual for this program that explains the various features? I
hit the About button and the Info button, but I didn’t notice any kind of
documentation. For example, I played White in this first game, and I did not
consciously try a specific opening because I don’t know any, but here it says
Opening C26. How did it get that if I wasn’t playing an opening? Another
example of a question would be that it says at the bottom right of the screen,
“This game can still be rated. Image.” Does anyone know how to activate that
with Voiceover. It doesn’t appear to be a button. I just brought up a Ratings
screen, and it says zero games and zero ratings, so how do I get it to start
rating me. Can I get an ELO rating from it?
Thanks for any advice.
This is truly a great app, and extremely accessible with Voiceover.
Evan
