No frills and plays like a real person
I love playing this program. No frills, which I really appreciate and it plays like a real person. It can play at all levels and for me, as a mid-strength player, can challenge my abilities, so I’m always getting better.

Love 3D
During the pandemic, TChess fulfilled part of social need. Like a clever speed chess player in one moment and a thoughtful executor of complex combinations in the next, I was always challenged and it had helped my game against all humans I have since encountered. Love the 3D especially on my iPad.
