Beginner or advanced, become a chess master, without ever being disturbed by ads.

Do you want to master the most prestigious, the classiest game ever, while having fun?

It's EASY! For starters, there are no ads to distract you. There's no account to create, and you don't even need to be connected to the Internet.

So, how does it work?

If you are a beginner, let yourself be guided by the introductory lessons included. The lessons are SHORT and EASY. Right from the start, you begin playing by moving pieces, and you learn the rules of the game while having fun.

Once you know the rules, you start playing real games! The coach shows you the moves a Grandmaster would pick. Not just one move, but THE 4 BEST MOVES.

Sounds too simple? But think about it... How did you learn to speak as a child? Did you take grammar and spelling lessons? Of course not. You listened to the adults talk and then you went for it! Because that's how you learn!

This app allows you to do just that, AND IT WORKS!

From the very first games, you start learning effortlessly. You immediately enjoy playing, and after a while you notice that the right moves come to mind naturally, as if they were obvious.

Gradually, you deactivate the suggestions and play by yourself. At the end of each game, the coach shows you the good and bad moves you've made. You can better understand what happened, and you can even try out other moves to improve.

If this sounds unbelievable, you should read the user reviews for our app. It has one of the highest satisfaction ratings on the App Store, in all countries.

FOR BEGINNERS, THIS APP...

• contains introductory chess lessons that are even suitable for children. • shows you all the possible moves of a piece when you touch it. • explains why certain moves are forbidden. • can suggest 4 to 6 excellent moves at any one time. The green button lets you show or hide these suggestions. • can tell you when you can mate your opponent, so you can look for the winning move by yourself. • can warn you when your opponent is about to play a dangerous move. • provides 50 trainer levels of increasing difficulty. • knows and applies perfectly all the official rules of chess. • analyzes your games and shows you how to improve.

FOR EXPERTS:

• Both USCF and FIDE rating scales are supported. • Chess Tiger Pro has one of the strongest chess engines for mobile devices (3040 USCF Elo). • On current devices, as incredible as it sounds, it plays at the world champion level. • You can set up any position. • You can save your games and replay them later. • You can exchange games with your friends very easily by email. • You can import game collections in PGN format. • The chess engine displays its thinking, up to 20 moves ahead. • You can analyze a game by replaying it. Chess Tiger Pro indicates bad moves by coloring them red. The 4 best moves in each position are shown in green. • Chess Tiger Pro supports variations: you can test other moves and then return to your original game.

OTHER FEATURES INCLUDE:

• The coach can comment on the game as you play (optional). • When the game is over, the coach can analyze it and show you how to improve. • 19 beautiful visual themes are included, which you can customize. • 10 styles of chess pieces are available. • You can choose from 20 chessboard styles (marble, blue marble, wood, metal, stone, …). • A collection of over 10,000 famous games by the greatest players of all time is included. For example, the entire career of Magnus Carlsen, since 2001, is available. • 4 playing styles are included, from «cautious» to «suicidal», which you can combine with all available levels. • Includes an opening book of more than one million moves. • Many customization options are available (graphics, sounds, engine output…). • ...and much more...

Full Featured and Powerful

They offer an emmersive, learn by doing environment. they claim that in essence, no mere mortal can stand before them when their full power is unleashed. it is terrible. it is like a firehouse.

It’s = New Welcome Screen & New Lessons Section - Poorly Done
     
by AviSaint · December 21, 2025

The Lesson Section is Welcome EXCEPT it has to be done linearly, NO SKIPPING ALLOWED. OPENING SCREENSHOT- Saying it’s inelegant is being KIND!!

Disappointing
     
by Reymago · December 17, 2025

The game orientation is landscape and it can’t be changed in the iPad, it’s so annoying, why not just allow portrait with no distractions??????

3/5 not good for professional suggestions
     
by AbyssGnasher · June 28, 2026

If you are just playing casually then of course this helps but if you were trying to be as good as a pro this is NOT the app for you. It sometimes gives wrong suggestions that it shouldn’t be giving. I can see better more professional moves than this app could. Rarely it will show some pro moves like sacrifices but very rarely.

There’s no advance information

Update stuck
     
by Dad13579 · April 26, 2026

The latest update isn’t working. Every day for the last few days, it shows that it needs an update and I update it and it doesn’t update.

Best chess app. Full stop.
