Mallang Chess: Chess for Kids

Mallang Chess is a soft, friendly chess app for everyone — from someone touching a board for the first time to a player sharpening their tactics.

◆ Play Solo Play against animal characters: Mir the owl, Leo the lion, Tori the turtle, Lupin the fox, Chichi the squirrel and Peep the chick. Each one has its own difficulty and playing style, thinks for a moment before moving, and chats to you across the board. Your win-loss record is kept for every character.

◆ Coaching

• An evaluation bar shows who stands better at a glance
• Ask Eggy for a hint and you get the reason, not just the move
• Blunders are flagged so you can take the move back and try again

◆ Practice — 141 puzzles in five courses

• Tactics: 90 puzzles over 9 levels, from winning a free piece to mate in two
• Survive: escape a check, save a piece under attack, stop a runaway pawn
• Combos: multi-move puzzles you solve by chaining moves together
• Classics: positions from famous games — Morphy's Opera Game, the Immortal Game, Philidor's Legacy, Boden's mate
• Strategy: positional ideas such as good squares, pins, and removing a defender Every position is checked by the engine, and a move you missed in one of your own games can be replayed as a puzzle.

◆ Play together Pass and play on one device. The board and its labels rotate so both players can read them from their own side.

◆ Play online Turn-based games with a faraway friend over Game Center.

◆ Learn Chess Animated lessons for every piece and every rule, castling, en passant and promotion included.

◆ Review Step through a finished game move by move with the engine's assessment of each one.

◆ And more A chess clock with Fischer increment, five board themes, and three piece sets — including the Eggy set, where Team Boiled faces Team Roasted. Pieces sprout little legs and walk to their square, and sweat or cry when something is about to take them.
