You + Agent now coaches with trained chess agents only; Apple Foundation Models has been removed as a coach (it gave weaker advice because there is no judgement adapter). Fixed a bug that could leave an agent stuck on "Preparing…" so a game wouldn't start.
MoreAgentic Chess requires an iPhone 12 or later and iOS 26 or later. Models download on first run, requiring approximately 0.3–1.5 GB per model, so a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
All AI models run entirely on your iPhone. This means no cloud reliance, ensuring privacy and allowing you to see how different AI models perform on your specific hardware.
Agentic Chess focuses on AI versus AI matches and benchmarking. While you can play manually against the AI or team up in coached games, it does not currently support multiplayer against human opponents.
The Elo ladder is an authentic ranking system where your chosen champion model competes in ranked matches. It allows you to track your champion's progress from Bronze all the way up to Grandmaster based on its performance.
Every game played serves as a hardware benchmark. Agentic Chess measures speed, latency, memory usage, and thermal behavior of each AI model on your device, providing a detailed performance report.
Yes, Agentic Chess is private by design. It requires no account, email, or login. Your score and leaderboard position are private to your installation and stored on your device, with options to download or erase your data.
The latest version is 1.1.0, last updated on August 20, 2026. Updates typically focus on adding new AI models, improving performance, and refining the benchmarking features.
Agentic Chess has an age rating of 17+. This is likely due to the complexity of the AI and the strategic nature of chess, which may be more suited for mature players.
