Chess Online & Offline

Chess for online play or quiet practice

Chess Online & Offline is a board game app for players who want a match against another person or a way to practise alone. Online games let you play opponents around the world for rating points, while offline games use a computer opponent with difficulty levels ranging from beginner to expert. You can also invite friends to a game or accept their invitations.

Tools for learning the board

The app adds useful guidance without changing the rules of chess. Markers can show legal moves, the last move, possible captures and when a king is in check. A pending move, or premove, lets you set a move to play automatically when the position allows it. You can also review the game history while a match is in progress.

• More than 500,000 tactics puzzles covering mates, endgames, forks, pins, skewers and sacrifices
• Information on more than 3,000 openings and variations, including the Sicilian Defense, Queen’s Gambit and French Defense
• Puzzle scoring to help you track how quickly you find the best move

Adjust the playing experience

Chess Online & Offline offers 21 board styles and 16 chess-piece sets, so you can choose a layout that suits you. Sound effects and haptic feedback provide additional responses during play, while classical music is available in the app for a quieter, more traditional atmosphere.
