Features

What's inside

Everything Chess Master does, without the filler.

Six engine levels

Beginner around 600 Elo up to Master around 2100 — our own engine, no third-party code.

2D and 3D boards

Switch mid-game. The 3D board is a real board seen from where you sit, not a filter over the flat one.

Play across the table

Two players passing one device.

Daily puzzle

One position a day, from mate in one upwards.

Learn Chess

Pieces, openings, endgames and strategy — short lessons rather than a wall of theory.

Statistics

Results, streaks and the opening you play most.

Why it's worth it

Why people use Chess Master

The reasons that survive the second week.

  • An opponent at your level

    Six steps mean the gap between “too easy” and “hopeless” is small enough to climb.

  • The engine is ours

    No third-party dependency of any kind. That is why the levels behave consistently and the app stays small.

  • The board fits the device

    An iPad is not a large iPhone here — the layout is checked separately in both orientations on both.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Six settings, roughly 600, 900, 1200, 1500, 1800 and 2100 Elo. Those are approximations of playing strength, not a rating you can claim.
