Best Chess App?

[Almy]

I've been keeping an eye on chess programs. Recently a lot have been released, including apps with online play. But so far I haven't seen one do it all. One even connects to FICS servers. Hopefully well see one come out that puts it all in one package, I'm really itching to buy one!

I like cyber chess which is real FICS client for iphone but it is better if it support ICC.

I thought I would try yours out. Any plans to add landscape? Also would be nice if I could zoom in and out of the 3d set, as well as tilt and rotate the board.

You should try iPhone classic "Caissa Chess". It is about 6 month ahead of Cyber feature-wise and not subjected to aggressive marketing .
