onChess will fill your opponents contact list with:
- Your registered phone contacts (only the phone ones, we don't use the SIM card contacts).
- Anyone that have sent you an invitation you have accepted.
- Anyone you have invited that have accepted the invitation.
The more you play, the more opponents you will have for choosing!

onChess will instantly send and notify all your invitations and moves to your opponents. You can also chat while playing, and share your results on social networks or by e-mail.

GAME EXPIRATION:

All games without activity in one week will expire:
- Invitations will expire after a week without answer. Pending invitations will be rejected.
- Games in progress will expire after a day, a week or a month without moves, depending on the game mode. The player who should have moved will abandon and lose the game.


HARDCORE PLAYERS:

You can play onChess in a casual or hardcore way, you decide.

As a suggestion: if you are a hardcore player and want to play with other hardcore players, please add a plus character "+" before your nickname.


If you experience any problem, or are already registered with a full profile and want to change your nick, clear the onChess game data and register again using the same phone number, all your games will synchronize with the server data (only for full profiles).


PERMISSIONS:

- android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE. Used to check internet connection.
- android.permission.INTERNET. Used to communicate with the game servers.
- android.permission.READ_CONTACTS. Used to search for registered contacts.

Other permissions required by GCM (push):

OTHER:

onChess uses GCM push messages. To work properly, onChess must be installed in the internal memory and always running... take care with task killers!



We love to hear from our players. If you have an idea that can make onChess better, anything you don't like or just want to drop us a message, send us an e-mail... your opinion matters! And if you like (or don't... sigh) onChess, please make a review!

We hope you enjoy the game.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
