Simple Chess

Simple Chess is a clean, complete chess app you can play anywhere — no internet, no ads, no account, no sign-up. Just chess.

Beat the computer, sharpen your tactics on thousands of puzzles, learn with interactive lessons, and — the part most free apps skip — review every game move by move to see exactly where it turned.

PLAY

- Take on the computer at four levels: Easy, Medium, Hard, and Expert.

REVIEW YOUR GAMES

- Replay any finished game move by move.

- Each move is graded Best, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake, or Blunder, with an evaluation bar — so you learn from your own play, not just lose and move on.
