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 ratings volume: Chess Move at 1.1K against GPT Chess's 16. Chess Move also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). GPT Chess's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Chess Move sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and GPT Chess sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Chess Move holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess Move has 1.1K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Chess Move'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.
Chess Move ships an update every 3 weeks, GPT Chess every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and August 31, 2026 respectively.
