Features & Capabilities

Finally, a chess app designed for learning, not monetization. No ads interrupting your games. No paywalls blocking lessons. No subscriptions. Just pure chess education for one simple price.

WHY CHESS ACADEMY?

Most chess apps are built for experienced players or cluttered with ads. Chess Academy was built from the ground up to teach chess properly, with clear explanations and interactive examples that actually make sense.

STRUCTURED LEARNING PATH

Start with how each piece moves, then progress through special rules like castling and en passant. Learn why openings are named after cities and players. Understand tactical patterns like forks, pins, and the famous Greek Gift sacrifice. Each lesson includes interactive boards and quizzes to cement your understanding.

PUZZLES THAT BUILD REAL SKILLS

Three difficulty levels with carefully curated positions. Each puzzle teaches a specific pattern you'll recognize in your own games. Hints when you're stuck. Stats to track which tactics need more work.

PLAY AND IMPROVE

Face an AI opponent adjustable from 400 to 1600 rating. Choose your time control or play untimed while learning. Track your ELO rating as you improve. Compete in match play or mini tournaments when you're ready.

  • Famous games from chess history with commentary
  • Dozens of tactical puzzles

User Reviews

In chess basics it’s possible to go the next page when it consists of several sections. In special moves and others however, it is not. I only see one page and cannot continue. It seems like a great app, or it could be great even. If all of it worked.
