Chess: Checkmate Club is a complete chess app with a calm, premium design in dark and light. Play the computer, a friend on the same phone, or players around the world, then sharpen your game with puzzles, drills and reports that show how you are improving. PLAY YOUR WAY Play the computer: Stockfish at five levels, from your first game to a real challenge, with hints and undo when you need them. Pass and Play: two players on one phone, with an optional chess clock. Online: rated games against players worldwide in Blitz, Rapid or Classical. Play a friend: add friends by code, QR or name, send a game invite and see who is online. PUZZLES AND PRACTICE A new daily puzzle every day, with its goal in plain words, like "Checkmate in 2". Practice by theme: forks, pins, mates, endgames and more, from a library of over 50,000 puzzles. Endgame drills to master the positions every player needs. Three hearts per puzzle, practice rounds, and a timer. Earn points and climb the levels, from Pawn to King. The puzzle report shows your puzzles day by day, with dates and filters. REVIEW AND IMPROVE Every finished game is saved, so you can replay it move by move. Ratings for online play and against the computer, with your rating history. A play-time chart of how much you played each day. MAKE IT YOURS Dark, Light, or follow your phone. Four board themes and three piece sets, including the Cartoon pieces. Board coordinates, auto-queen, sounds and haptics, all your choice. Play as a guest, or sign in with Apple or Google to keep your profile, ratings and friends on every device. CHESS PRO Chess Pro is an optional subscription. It removes all ads, unlocks unlimited practice puzzles and endgame drills (free players get 40 a day), and opens the puzzle report's full statistics. Pro players carry the Pro badge by their name. Every game mode stays free, and Pro never gives an advantage in online or rated play.
