To save battery the game does not ponder (think on opponent’s time). The move time is different to ELO, it’s only the time that the engine will be thinking for each move. The best app for chess lovers, with Android and HTML5 interfaces, and with lots of possibilities. We made some statistic analysis to determine the relationship between the errors introduced and the ELO level, so it should be something aproximated. If you select on the settings ELO 2100, the engine will be playing at his maximun strength selecting lower ELO levels, the chess engine lowers its playing strength, introducing errors and reducing game knowledge. But in other (slower) mobiles may be lower.
