How to use the Wifi-LAN feature of this Chess game?

Question

I have downloaded this chess application and it supports wifi lan game. I want to know how i can use this feature?

My friend and I want to play chess against each other he has an latest Android version and I have the game on Windows Phone 8. The Android version of chess app has two options of networking, Bluetooth and wifi, but the Windows Phone 8 app only has the wifi option.

What I have tried so far - we turned on wifi on both devices (Android and WP) and one of the phone chess app (in this case Windows Phone) is used to host a game (Network > Wifi lan > Host game > Ok). I see this message...

white: Windows phone
Wait 110 Seconds for your opponent

Start          Cancel

The start button remains inactive. My friend tried to join the game (Network > Wifi lan > Join game) but it's just showing a blank window with a cancel button.

Can you tell me how should we play this game over wifi?

Answer 1

The WiFi LAN Game is for when you are both connected to the same WiFi network. If you're not connected to the same network, this option won't work for you - there may be an alternate game that allows playing across the Internet, but this particular game doesn't appear to support that.
