Mallang Chess: Chess for Kids

Learn, solve puzzles, play

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Mallang Chess is a soft, friendly chess app for everyone — from someone touching a board for the first time to a player sharpening their tactics. ◆ Play Solo Play against animal characters: Mir the owl, Leo the lion, Tori the turtle, Lupin the fox, Chichi the squirrel and Peep the chick. Each one has its own difficulty and playing style, thinks for a moment before moving, and chats to you across the board. Your win-loss record is kept for every character. ◆ Coaching - An evaluation bar shows who stands better at a glance - Ask Eggy for a hint and you get the reason, not just the move - Blunders are flagged so you can take the move back and try again ◆ Practice — 141 puzzles in five courses - Tactics: 90 puzzles over 9 levels, from winning a free piece to mate in two - Survive: escape a check, save a piece under attack, stop a runaway pawn - Combos: multi-move puzzles you solve by chaining moves together - Classics: positions from famous games — Morphy's Opera Game, the Immortal Game, Philidor's Legacy, Boden's mate - Strategy: positional ideas such as good squares, pins, and removing a defender Every position is checked by the engine, and a move you missed in one of your own games can be replayed as a puzzle. ◆ Play together Pass and play on one device. The board and its labels rotate so both players can read them from their own side. ◆ Play online Turn-based games with a faraway friend over Game Center. ◆ Learn Chess Animated lessons for every piece and every rule, castling, en passant and promotion included. ◆ Review Step through a finished game move by move with the engine's assessment of each one. ◆ And more A chess clock with Fischer increment, five board themes, and three piece sets — including the Eggy set, where Team Boiled faces Team Roasted. Pieces sprout little legs and walk to their square, and sweat or cry when something is about to take them. No ads and no data collection. Your games and settings stay on your device.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

Now there is an opponent your child can actually beat. • Every character plays at its own level — Peep really does play like a beginner now. • You can see which is which: the characters are ordered easiest first, each with its level. • The difficulty setting nudges your chosen character one step gentler or sharper.
