Great, thanks for the suggestion.

Apparently, Lichess has 'Over the board' feature that allows you to play with your friend offline, nice!

It also has a pretty good chess clock if you have a physical board but want to play timed.
It also lets you play an engine (stockfish) running on your phone. I play offline on planes all the time.
Written in Scala I believe which makes me love it even more (Scala fan here!).
Vouching for this, best chess app ever. Also offers a website!
