Voice chess app for Google Assistant

Sort:
ParadoxMaster

Greetings, chess players!
Let me introduce you a new chess app for Google Assistant.
https://assistant.google.com/services/a/uid/000000df679b0306?jsmode=o&hl=en-US&source=web
It works on all devices that support Google Actions, such as Android phones/tablets/watches and Google Home smart speakers.
I wrote it for one my blind friend chess player. Thus this application controlled fully by voice. And I just thought maybe it would be useful to someone else, like in blind chess trainings.
Here you can play in classic chess against Google Assistant driven by Stockfish engine.
You play just talking with assistant, and he will talk to you in response. No touching is required. And in addition player can retrieve information like moves history, pieces positions, full board overview, available moves and so on. You only need to ask out loud.
Voice recognition isn't perfect, so, sometimes it can not understand you correctly. You just need to find the correct pronunciation. Just in case I added a feature to correct the last player move.
Also it is available in 2 languages: English and Russian.
Well... If someone will use it, I'll be appreciated if you tell me about any founded bug, or suggestion to improve.
Have a good day!

That's really nice.   But yours is a fresh account here and I'd be wary of trying your app since its not even on a legitimate store.

Yes, I just created an account here to post this, but what do you mean by "non legitimate store"? Google Assistant has only one action catalog, AFAIK there is no others way to work with Google Actions. Maybe you're confused with Android app and Play Store? It's a different, not usual app for Android but app for Google Assistant.

It's a nice Addition to Google I've had chance to try 

Letter pronunciations tho it has trouble 

Ive used a chess app on Windows that used something much more realiable 

Alpha  2 to Alpfa 3 

It also had where u could customize words to ur liking 

None the less ty for the app I def enjoy using it to play over a real life board

Anyone tried playing on Alexa or Bixby compared to google play? I wonder how many people enjoy playing through voice against computers or other players.
