Play real chess with your kid.
New: quick Table Games, a Growth Journal of every game you play together, and Parent tips. One membership covers your whole family, up to 6 people. No ads, no accounts.
Family Chess is real chess for you and your kid, sharing one iPhone or iPad. Lay the device flat on the table between you: their half of the screen faces them, yours faces you. No accounts, no chess robot — just the two of you. You do not need to know chess to play.
ONE MEMBERSHIP, YOUR WHOLE FAMILY
A Family Chess membership unlocks the whole app, and one membership covers up to 6 people through Apple Family Sharing at no extra cost. Two players or six, it is the same membership. Every feature and every piece style is there from the first move — there is nothing else to buy inside the app.
WHY IT WORKS
• KID POWER — five levels (Even match, Little help, Head start, Big boost, Superhero boost) that trade YOUR queen and rooks down, all the way to pawns, so the game stays close without you losing on purpose. Change it any time, even mid-game. Captured pieces stay captured — no take-backsies. It can point at either side of the board, so any two people in the house can have a close game, not just the grown-up and the beginner.
• GLOWING MOVE DOTS — tap any piece, even out of turn, and every square it could reach lights up. That is how the moves get learned: by playing.
• SHOW MY MOVES — one press on their side of the table draws every move they can make right now, in a quiet five-second wave.
• HINTS THAT TURN TO FACE THEM — gentle, wordy nudges ("look for a piece that is lonely") appear rotated toward their side of the table.
• TABLE GAMES — Pawn Race, First Catch, King of the Hill, and Three Checks: short games with real chess rules, for the nights nobody has forty minutes.
• GROWTH JOURNAL — games played together, how Kid Power came down over time, and the date of the first checkmate won with no hints and no take-backs. One tap makes a milestone card you can share; nothing leaves the device unless you send it yourself.
• PARENT TIPS — one short, practical card at the start of a game, written for the grown-up holding the rail, plus a family challenge to try each week.
• 11 PIECE ART STYLES — Classic, Cartoon, Modern, Storybook, Royal Glow, Tournament, Chessnut, Candy, Clay Toy, Painted, and Wooden. Let them argue about it.
• A SWIPEABLE PARENT RAIL — every control lives in a slim bar at your edge and never interrupts the board. Swap sides, start fresh, lock take-backs, toggle chimes.
Real rules underneath: castling, en passant, promotion (with a picker that faces whoever earned it), checkmate, stalemate, and draws — and an end-of-game card that faces both of you and tells the truth about how the game actually ended.
Players are saved on the device with their own name and color, so the app remembers who is playing and where each of them sits on the Kid Power ladder.
The game runs on your device with no accounts, ads, or analytics, and it works offline. Apple handles membership through the App Store. Details are in the privacy policy.
