Seven free days, no account or card required. After that the core rules stay free, forever.
Chess Reflex teaches you to beat a player who has never taken a lesson. Not to become a grandmaster — to stop losing to careless mistakes.
Everything is built on six rules. Six, not sixty. Develop your pieces in the right order, check what the opponent's last move threatens, count before you capture, count the attackers and defenders of a square, hold an endgame, and never answer in three seconds. These six rules are enough to beat the vast majority of casual players.
SIXTEEN ANIMATED LESSONS
Each rule is explained on the board, sentence by sentence, with arrows showing exactly what's being discussed. Two minutes per lesson. A voice reads them aloud — a real built-in synthetic voice, not the system's robotic one.
581 EXPLAINED POSITIONS
Which piece is hanging? Where's the pin? Mate in one? Every position comes with a written explanation: why this answer, and why not the other one. None is left unexplained.
SPACED REVIEW THAT LASTS
Cards come back just before you'd forget them. The grade isn't set by hand — it's worked out from your answer and how long you took.
PLAY, THEN UNDERSTAND
A game against the app, at three levels. At the end, the board stays and you replay your game move by move, with what each move did underneath — what it captured, what it threatened, and where you went wrong. A button jumps straight from one mistake to the next.
AND A FULL PATH
Eleven drills in the order of a real game: the opening, checking before each move, counting, the four tactical motifs, the endgame, checkmate.
OFFLINE, FOR REAL
No account. No ads. No trackers. The app never connects to a server: lessons, positions, voice and the artificial opponent all work on a train, on a plane, or deep underground.
IN THIRTEEN LANGUAGES
French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi. Translated, not machine-run: piece names follow each country's usage, and so does the notation.
HOW MUCH IT COSTS
Seven days, everything unlocked, no account or card. After that, the theory and the basics stay readable for free, with no time limit. For the rest: $4.99 a month, $29.99 a year, or a one-time $49.99. The first month of the subscription is free.
