## What is Mansuba?

Most chess apps let you play. Mansuba makes you better.

Mansuba (منصوبة) is named after the classical Arabic chess study — the positions medieval masters used to teach the game. This app is that idea reborn: a guided road that takes you from the empty board to genuine playing strength, one level at a time.

THE PATH
• 7 stages, 30 levels: foundations, the art of checkmate, tactics, openings, strategy, and endgames
• Every level teaches one idea, drills it on a real board, and unlocks the next
• Boss levels test you against the AI before you may pass
• Finish the path and beat the Master AI to earn the Digital Master title

PUZZLES THAT ARE ACTUALLY CORRECT
• 62 hand-crafted puzzles — classic mating patterns plus positions adapted from real amateur games
• Every single position and solution is machine-verified against a chess engine
• Separate puzzle rating; first-try solves earn the most

FIVE OPPONENTS THAT GROW WITH YOU
• Rookie (500) to Master (1600), with human-like play at every level
• Real ELO rating that moves with every game and puzzle
• Same level, different game — the AI varies its play while keeping its strength

A BOARD YOU'LL WANT TO LOOK AT
• 3D-rendered piece sets: Classic, Glass, Metal, Jade, Wood, Red v Blue
• Five board themes, smooth animations, sound, and haptics
• Full light & dark mode — follows your device setting automatically
• Full promotion choice, en passant, castling — real chess, properly done

FULLY BILINGUAL
• Complete English and Arabic, including the entire curriculum
• Proper right-to-left layout in Arabic

YOURS, PRIVATELY
• No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking
• All progress stays on your device; multiple local profiles supported
• Works completely offline

Plus a strategy library: the ten commandments of chess, how masters think, opening repertoires, endgame priorities, and how to take your skills to a real board.

Free to play.
