CheSchool
Lessons, openings and puzzles
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
CheSchool is a chess school in your pocket: from the rules to the endgame, with a trainer for every topic and a review of your own games.
COURSE
• 29 short lessons in four modules: first steps, opening principles, tactics and the endgame.
• Each lesson is one idea on an interactive board, with exercises. Go in order or start anywhere — finished lessons get a tick.
OPENINGS AND TRAPS
• An openings trainer with eleven repertoires: first a walkthrough with the reason for every move, then a test from memory — with stars and spaced repetition a few days later.
• Traps: short opening lines where one side blunders everything at once. Set the trap yourself and learn not to fall for it.
TRAINERS
• Puzzles matched to your rating: solve them and they get harder, miss and they get easier. Puzzles come from the open Lichess database (CC0).
• Rush: five minutes, puzzles getting harder, three mistakes and the run is over.
• “What is hanging?” — board vision practice.
• Nine instructive endgames: mating a lone king, king and pawn, rook and pawn. You play each position out against the engine.
PLAY AND REVIEW
• Play the bot at three levels — from a beginner who hangs pieces to a club player.
• Play a friend: create a link and send it to your opponent.
• Engine review of your game: an evaluation of every move, a game graph, blunders and mistakes.
• The coach walks you through the key moments of the game — where you were better, where it slipped away and what to play instead. In text and by voice.
• Your chess.com games: sign in with your number, enter your username and the school reviews each one. CheSchool is not affiliated with or endorsed by Chess.com.
• “My mistakes” and “My openings”: across all your reviewed games — where you go wrong most often, what you play and where you leave theory.
EVERY DAY
• A daily training of about fifteen minutes: repeat missed puzzles and your own blunders from games, read a lesson, solve a dozen puzzles.
• A path of six steps from the rules to reviewing your own games — with an exam at each. Already know it? Take the exam straight away.
