If you want to learn chess or are already an expert and want to challenge others on your level, this app is guaranteed to have what you are looking for and more. So download it and see for yourself :).

I've gone from knowing nothing at all about chess to knowing very little, and had a great time doing it. I'm playing every day, and learning from every mistake. This app teaches you tactics, challenges you with puzzles, provides unlimited games against bots (of many skill levels) and connects you with other players the world over (anywhere from one minute games to three day correspondence matches). It has kindled a love in me for one of the oldest games; I highly recommend it!
