Play Chess with ChatGPT (OpenAI, GPT 3.5 or GPT 4) or GeminiPro (Google). There are two modes: (A) The standard mode, both you and the AI would follow the standard chess rule, so no illegal move! You can choose between: 1. The native ChatGPT4 API (weakest chess player); 2. Prompt improved GPT4 API (e.g. better chess player); 3. Enhanced backend chess calculation API call with GPT4 (i.e. strongest chess player). (B) The No-Rule chess mode. In this mode, we strictly follow the instruction provided by ChatGPT AI to make the move. Enjoy a chaotic and hilarious chess game. Don't be surprise if AI makes illegal moves, captures its own piece, generates random pieces, and suicides. :) You can choose different LLM AI: 1. GPT 3.5 (OpenAI); 2. GPT 4 (OpenAI); 3. Gemini Pro from Google. A minimalist design, just start to play, that simple. Also, the ChatGPT will talk to you during the play! Come and see if you can beat the ChatGPT in chess!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ChessLink App at none against GPT Chess's 1. ChessLink App also leads on rating (4.4 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). GPT Chess's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ChessLink App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of ChessLink App's written reviews are positive against 33% of GPT Chess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ChessLink App ships an update every 3 months, GPT Chess every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
