Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Shatranj is the Islamic name for chess, derived from Chatrang (Persian Chess). In medieval times, forms of Shatranj were referred to as Small Chess to differentiate from various forms of Great Chess played on larger boards, such as Grande Acedrex. Referring to this as Small Chess in modern times would surely be confusing, however, as there are now many forms of (even) smaller Chess.

Shatranj APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Shatranj APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is acb704c2fea853b4a230dd83ceb2e186.
