User Reviews

Users consistently praise Chess without ads for its ad-free play, beginner-friendliness, and strong educational features. The app offers helpful hints, move suggestions, and analysis, plus a wide range of settings that let players tailor the experience. The main downside is that higher-level bots and advanced tools are gated behind a paid version, which can limit progress for free users. Despite the paid options, many players still see it as a solid, accessible way to practice and improve at chess for beginners and intermediates.

Pros

Ad-free experience
Helpful learning tools: hints, suggestions, and analysis
Free to play / no mandatory purchases to access core play
Beginner-friendly and easy to pick up
Lots of settings and customization options

Cons

Paywalls for higher-level bots and advanced features behind a paid version
Free tier progression is limited; higher difficulty and training options require payment
