What's New in Rival Chess

1.3.78

November 4, 2026

Drills: the opponent's reply to a failed move is now written in move notation (Rxb5) instead of squares (b8b5). With large text, the drill board and the study board fit the screen, and the note about the opponent is no longer cut off. Game import: if you type an email instead of your username, the app now tells you what to enter.

Decent game but has flaws

It’s a great concept and fun to play but the AI play way above their ELO. I am not a great player but I can beat 1000 and below pretty easily but even the first bot plays like a 2000.
