## What is ChessHut?

Chess for everyone. No account, no ads, no internet needed.

ChessHut is a complete chess game that runs entirely on your device. Pick an opponent, choose a clock, and play. Every game, puzzle and rating stays private on your phone.

EIGHT OPPONENTS WITH CHARACTER
Face Pip the Hatchling (rated 400) through to Ember, the Hut Master (1900). Each one plays in its own style — attacking, defensive or unpredictable — and has plenty to say about your moves.

A COACH THAT WATCHES EVERY MOVE
After each of your moves you get instant feedback: Best move, Great, Good, Not the best, Mistake or Blunder, plus the move that would have been stronger. Finish a game to see your accuracy and a breakdown of how you played.

3,700+ PUZZLES THAT MATCH YOUR LEVEL
Rated puzzles from the Lichess open database, from beginner to master. Your puzzle rating adjusts as you solve, so the puzzles keep pace with you. Choose Easier, My level, Harder or Hardest, practise a single idea (forks, pins, sacrifices, discovered attacks, endgames, defence) or solve today's puzzle to build a streak.

CHESS JOURNEY
Beat the eight opponents in order to unlock the next. Win without take-backs or hints to earn all three crowns.

EVERYTHING ELSE
- Full rules: castling, en passant, promotion with your choice of piece, stalemate, repetition, the 50-move rule and insufficient material
- Rating, rank titles, win streaks and 13 achievements
- Hints, take-backs and a move list, in every game
- Clocks from 3-minute blitz to 30-minute classical, including added time per move
- Drag or tap to move, with smooth animation, sound and vibration
- Two-player mode on one device
- Four app themes, including a light one, and five board styles
- Continue an unfinished game whenever you come back
- iPhone and iPad, with VoiceOver support

No sign-in. No ads. No tracking. No data ever leaves your device.

Puzzles come from the Lichess.org open puzzle database, released into the public domain.
