About

A fun way to learn chess. Wickmate teaches chess the way a good tutor would. One idea at a time, on a real board, with someone beside you explaining why. It is a course built as a game, not a game that happens to teach. A GUIDED CAMPAIGN 64 levels across 8 chapters. The first two chapters teach the fundamentals: what the pieces are worth, forks and pins, castling, when to trade, and how to finish with king and queen. The remaining 48 are real positions you play until the game actually ends. Convert an advantage, hold a draw, win a pawn race. CHAPTER KEEPERS Eight opponents wait at the end of the chapters, each playing at a real strength from 200 to 1600. Beat one and you have proved what you learned. DAILY PUZZLES Five new puzzles every day, free for everyone, tied to a streak worth keeping. THE CLIMB An endless ladder of puzzles, each level a little harder than the last. THE OPENINGS LIBRARY 58 openings in 11 families. Wick walks you through each one, then asks you to play it back from memory. WICK, YOUR COMPANION A pawn carrying a candle who walks the whole campaign with you, explains your mistakes, and celebrates when you get it right. He shows rather than lectures. MADE TO BE LOOKED AT Hand-painted campaign roads, custom piece sets and boards, and every screen lit like a scene by candlelight. NO ADS, EVER Not in any tier, free or paid. There is no rewarded video and no ad-supported path of any kind. WHAT IS FREE AND WHAT IS NOT The daily puzzles and The Climb are free and unlimited. In the openings library, two families, the Italian and the Caro-Kann, are free; the other nine come with Wickmate Premium. Campaign levels use energy: one for each move you make and each step Wick teaches, from a pool of 30 that refills over time. When it runs out you can wait for it to refill, spend Pawns, or subscribe for unlimited energy. An account is required so your progress is saved and follows you between devices. Sign in with Apple or Google, and delete your account at any time from Settings. WICKMATE PREMIUM Wickmate Premium is an optional auto-renewing subscription. It includes unlimited campaign energy, unlimited hints on every puzzle, all eleven opening families, streak freezes for missed days, and the ability to equip Keeper's Court pieces and Wick's unlocked forms. - Wickmate Premium Monthly: $8.99 per month - Wickmate Premium Annual: $69.99 per year Both plans begin with a 7-day free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, or at the end of the free trial if you start one. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and renewal is charged within the 24 hours before the period ends. You can manage or cancel your subscription at any time in your Apple Account settings. Prices are in US dollars and may vary by country. Pawns, the in-app currency, are also available as one-time purchases, and are earned for free by clearing levels.
