What's New in ChessImprover

1.1.97

September 7, 2026

Sharper coaching, fewer false alarms: • Theory moves are credited as book moves again, with the opening's summary when you complete a named line. • Coach and Game Review no longer call a doomed piece a blunder, and tactic explanations only promise captures that are legal. • Practice forgives a piece dropped one square short — a slip no longer counts against your repetition schedule. • The coach's voice says exactly what the screen shows for forced mates. • Faster game review, plus many fixes.

I’ve actually learned!

Most chess apps are over my head, I’m a beginner and just want to keep up with my kids. The coaching feature is amazing.

This app has become part of my routine ,quick puzzles in the morning, longer games at night. The interface is clean, matches load fast, and the difficulty curve actually helps you improve instead of just handing you wins.
