Re: Android version Chess Genius gone forever?

Alternatively see here:

Make sure you have your antivirus running, just in case.

And if it works, keep the apk as a backup for future installations

Re: Android version Chess Genius gone forever?

Re: When a collector sells his chess computers....

When I emigrated from the UK to Tenerife 3 years ago, I downsized from a 4 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom apartment. Had to sell most of my chess computers. It felt like my children were flying the nest :(
