It is played on a chessboard, which is a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the beginning of the game each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove or defend it from attack on the next move. Features: - Both one and two player modes. - Fun AI with 4 levels (easy, medium, hard and expert). - Great background music and sounds. - Universal version supports iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad devices.

Both are free to download. Chess Knight Go sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. BlueChess asks for nothing beyond the download.
BlueChess holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chess Knight Go has 83 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Chess Knight Go's written reviews are positive against 50% of BlueChess's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Chess Knight Go ships an update every 2 months, BlueChess every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
