Chess and checkers in one app, with a coach that helps you stop repeating the same mistakes.
TWO CLASSIC GAMES
Switch between chess and American checkers from the home screen. Both have computer opponents from beginner to master, pass-and-play, online matches with friends via invite code, and a coach.
YOUR COACH FINDS WHAT COST YOU
After every game, the coach finds the moments that turned it, draws the move you played against the better one, and explains in plain English why it went wrong. Then it saves those exact positions as drills, so you practise your own weaknesses instead of generic puzzles.
YOUR PERSONAL WEAKNESS PROFILE
In chess, every mistake is tagged: moved into danger, left a piece hanging, missed a capture, missed a check, or a positional slip. The Train tab shows your most frequent habits and one clear piece of advice to fix the biggest one.
VISUAL COACH REVIEW
Step through any finished game with arrows for the played move and the best move, plus a short explanation for every turning point.
LEARN BY DOING
Fourteen interactive chess lessons, from how the pieces move to real tactics, and six checkers lessons covering moving, capturing, multi-jumps, kings, shots and blocking.
PLAY AGAINST TEN LEVELS
Pick a difficulty from 1 to 10, from a friendly beginner to a bot that calculates deeply. Choose a time control or play without a clock. If nobody is online, you are matched with a practice bot so you never wait.
