ChessCore Tournament Maker
Board
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
ChessCore is a complete chess companion for players of every level — play against AI bots, sharpen your tactics with puzzles, challenge friends and strangers online, and organize real chess tournaments for your club.
PLAY CHESS
Take on a roster of AI bots with distinct personalities and difficulty levels, from beginner-friendly to genuinely tough. Every bot keeps its own win/draw/loss record against you, so you can track your progress bot by bot.
Play real opponents online with quick matchmaking, custom time controls, or a "Specified match" to challenge someone directly. Live captured-piece tracking, move history, premoves, and voice announcements for check, checkmate, and draws keep games easy to follow. After any game, step through a full post-game analysis with an evaluation bar and move-by-move review.
CHESS PUZZLES
Sharpen your tactics with a large library of rated puzzles, from beginner mates to multi-move combinations. Your puzzle rating updates as you solve, and a searchable leaderboard shows how you stack up.
LEARN CHESS
New to the game? Learn how each piece moves, practice coordinate training, and pick up tips from Coach Gary along the way.
TOURNAMENT MAKER
Organize in-person or online tournaments for your chess club with automatic pairings, configurable win/draw scoring, and a full tournament archive. Create casual clubs for friends or join official, FIDE-affiliated clubs to compete in a more structured setting.
CLUBS & FRIENDS
Build a chess community: create or join clubs, customize your club with its own background image, add friends, chat directly, and challenge friends to a game with one tap. A notification bell keeps you posted on invites, challenges, and messages.
STATS
Track your rating across time controls, your bot-by-bot win record, and your overall progress in one place.
CUSTOMIZE
Choose your board color, piece style, and background, and toggle voice announcements to make the app feel like yours.
