Description
tChess Pro is the high-quality, critically acclaimed chess game with the richest features for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It's perfect for every player:
Beginners:
Not everybody is a chess master! Most chess games are too strong or just make random mistakes at easier levels. tChess Pro has unique algorithms to simulate human opponents.
Experts:
tChess Pro has a top-tier chess engine. (Over 380 ELO points stronger than Caissa Chess.)
Enthusiasts:
tChess Pro's Analysis Mode is like having a chess master in your pocket. You can get the engine's "expert opinion" about any game or position in real-time: which side is winning, and the best sequence of moves. Just like a professional desktop chess package.
More key features:
- Perfect for 1- or 2-player games
- Strong computer opponent
- Play against any ELO rating from 500 to 2500
- Integrated "Learn Chess" e-book app (Apple Staff Favorite!)
- Opening Library feature lets you explore chess opening theory as you play
- PGN Database feature lets you download and view PGN files
- Support for 3-stage time controls with Fischer increments
- Position Editor to enter positions from books, newspapers, etc.

Ratings and Reviews
Very Good
It works just how you would expect a professionally created app should work. It opens pgn files that have been copied without any issues. The analysis is very useful and the you can print game’s easily. It’s clean interface is so nice. I can’t fault this app at all. It really is very good and I think it could be most helpful in helping you improve your skill level.
The developer cares enough about your experience to answer your emails (although they may not get get back straight away).
The most useful features for me are the analysis graph and the ability to print out the PGN with a diagram of the out come.
Analysis is vital if you’re going to improve at chess and this provides you with that tool.
Great App 👍
A perfect chess companion .
This app is extremely well written with all the features you would expect and want from a chess program, perfect for learning at all levels with a wide array of tools to assist. There’s no annoying adds or other distracting items that are usually so prolific in apps these days, an excellent program perfect for all chess players at any level.
Best Chess App
I’ve tried a lot of chess apps and I always come back to this one. Clean, intuitive GUI with plenty of features. I love the analysis mode; nice to see the exact move(s) that cost the game, especially when it’s not through an obvious blunder.
It’s great as it is but it would be utmost perfection if it had a 960 game mode. Please add!
