SEE THE BOARD. FIND THE PLAN. Most chess apps beat you and move on. Chess Strategy: Coach & Learn explains what just happened, what the position wants, and which move gets you there — while you play. GUIDED PLAY WITH THE OAKMASTER COACH Play a full game against the engine with a coach at your side. Before every move the coach names the idea, shows the line it is considering, and explains the plan behind it. Choose how much help you want: • Full Coach — suggests the best move every turn, with the reasoning • Advisor — stays quiet unless a move needs attention • Silent — no in-game coaching, then a full review when the game ends Set the trainer anywhere from Beginner to Grand Master so the games stay hard enough to teach you something. 390 PUZZLES FROM REAL GAMES Thirteen themed sets cover the patterns that decide games: back-rank mates, deflection, discovered attacks, double checks, forks, hanging pieces, mate in one, pins, skewers, and more. Every position is taken from a real game, and each one is rated so you can feel yourself improving. STRUCTURED COURSES Work through opening principles, tactics, checkmate patterns, endgame technique, and positional play. Lessons are short, hands-on, and built around positions you actually have to solve. FREE PLAY Want a normal game? Play the Oakmaster or a friend on one device with no coaching at all. CHALLENGE THE COACH Disagree with the recommendation? Play your move anyway and the coach will tell you honestly whether it was better, equal, or worse — and why. LEARN OFFLINE Everything runs on your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, and no internet connection required. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Chess Strategy collects no personal data. Your progress stays on your device. Chess Strategy Pro unlocks every course plus unlimited hints with a single one-time purchase — no subscription. Questions or feedback?
