Yesterday I was looking through the folder and found an old game, and it turned out to be chess created by Dobit. To be honest, it's quite emotional. I remember back in the Symbian era, I had a Java version of chess stored in my phone. The screen was only a small size, and it took me a long time to move it with the arrow keys to make a move, but I could still squat at the bus stop and play all afternoon. So many years have passed and mobile phones have been replaced by several generations, but this game still feels the same.
You can download it just by clicking on it without being connected to the Internet, which is really rare these days. Everyone knows what's going on in the mobile game market now. It's all about drawing cards, daily routines, stamina points, and first recharge of krypton gold. It's like clocking in at work. Playing a game is more tiring than working overtime. Chess, a game passed down from our ancestors, can sit on your phone without making any noise, pop-up windows, or annoying people. It can just sit quietly and wait for you to play a game. To be honest, this in itself is a refreshing experience.
Let's talk about the game itself.
I think its AI is really adequate. He is not the kind to fool around casually. He has a routine at the beginning, will contain him in the middle game, and also knows the key points of defense in the end game. Even if a veteran chooses a high difficulty level, he can still be killed in a cold sweat. If you are a novice, choose the simple mode and explore slowly, so that you will not be discouraged and give up the game. There are also a variety of openings to choose from, including smooth artillery, column artillery, and screen horses. Players who like to study layouts can have fun.
The chess pieces are also well made, the texture of the solid wood chessboard is not the cheap plastic-y look, and the sound effects of the moves are also comfortable. My eyes don't feel uncomfortable after playing for an entire afternoon, which is quite rare for mobile chess.
To be honest, I sometimes wonder, where will mobile games go in the future? The graphics are becoming more and more dazzling, the engines are becoming more and more powerful, and the systems are becoming more and more complex. Manufacturers are eager to turn games into movies, social software, and shopping platforms. But I always feel that as we go further, a pure game like chess will become more and more valuable.
Because sometimes people just need a quiet corner, where they don't have to compete with anyone, sign in or clock in, turn off the Internet, just play a game of chess quietly, throw it away after playing, and do whatever they want. This kind of calmness, I think, is the most original taste of the game, and it is also something that many major manufacturers have forgotten.
This is not to say that the new masterpieces are not good. Young people like excitement and excitement. This is normal. But veteran players of my age increasingly cherish this simple game that can calm people down. You can pick it up at any time and let it go at any time. It won't kidnap your time, nor will it empty your wallet. 
Anyway, I kept this chess game. In the Saipan era, the chessboard was small but the joy was great. Now that the screen is bigger, the joy has not shrunk, which is good.
