Notation Chess

Play chess on your watch!

Play notation-first chess on the go, directly from your Apple Watch.

Notation Chess is designed for players who want to practice visualization and play without relying on a full board view. Choose your color and difficulty, select moves using standard chess notation, and review your move history as the game progresses.

The app is powered by the lightweight Chal chess engine, with adjustable search depth and move variety settings. When you need a quick visual reference, use Peek at Board to check the current position. You can also undo moves and start a new game at any time.
