Clear Chess – Big Pieces

A large-print chess app for seniors and anyone who wants big, easy-to-see pieces. Tap to move. The computer plays at your level. No ads, no account.

Clear Chess is a free, large-print chess app for iPhone and iPad, made for seniors and older adults who know the game and want to play again. No ads, ever.

Big, bold pieces fill the screen. Tap a piece, then tap where it goes, with no dragging. The computer plays at your level. No account. No internet needed.

EASY TO SEE • Big, bold pieces with a thick dark outline, drawn just for this app • The board fills the whole width of the screen • A high-contrast board, and letters on the pieces if you like • Menus and buttons grow with your text size setting • The computer's moves can be read aloud

EASY TO MOVE • Tap a piece to see where it can go, then tap the square. No dragging. • Tap a square it can't reach and you get a short note, not a move • Turn on "Ask before each move" to check every move before it's played • Undo as many moves as you like, and Redo to put them back • Ask for a hint whenever you're stuck

A COMPUTER THAT PLAYS AT YOUR LEVEL You choose how you want to play, never a level number: • Relaxed: easy going, take your time • Competitive: a good, close game • Challenge: a tough game, good practice The computer adjusts to your results as you play. In Relaxed, it eases off when it's well ahead.

SEE YOURSELF IMPROVE • A personal rating that follows your games, with the number shown only if you want it • A simple graph, and a count of games won and lost • Replay your recent games, one move at a time

NOTHING GETS IN THE WAY • No ads, ever • No account, no sign-in, no subscription • Plays without the internet: at home, on a trip, anywhere • No clocks or timers. Take as long as you like. • Your game is saved after every move, so you can stop and come back later • No account, and nothing that identifies you

Full chess rules: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate and draws.

Works on iPhone and iPad.
