MobileCritics.com has reviewed the chess game ChessGenius by Lang Software. ChessGenius uses one of the strongest chess engines, second only to Fritz, I believe. Looks like they have done a great user interface job, too!
"In fewer than 200KB ChessGenius offers a deceptively simple drag-and-drop gameplay interface for a 2D chess game. There are a variety of configurable options from selecting the playing level (0-9), game type (including two player or player vs. Genius), to adding a tutor-mode to your game. The tutor-mode is what makes this program so useful for beginning and intermediate players. It guides you step by step through the game, warning you of weak moves in your strategy and giving you an option to take back moves. Advanced players will find ChessGenius challenging by selecting upper playing levels—from 7-9. In addition you can select timed play against the advanced artificial chess intelligence or simply square off against another human player."
