Cherry Chess is a beautifully simple chess app that helps you actually get better. Play against honestly calibrated bots or a friend, then let a full-strength Stockfish engine show you exactly where the game was won or lost – all on your device, no account, no internet required.
EVERY MOVE RATED
• Each move gets a verdict, from Brilliant and Best Move to Mistake and Blunder
• See instantly what your move was worth – or switch it off and just play
• Optional evaluation bar right next to the board
OPPONENTS AT YOUR LEVEL
• Bots from 300 to 2200 in steps of 100, each step measured against real playing strength
• They play like humans at their level – including the mistakes – and they finish won games
• Max: the engine at full strength, for when you want to see perfect chess
• Rated games always put you against the bot at your own level
PLAY YOUR WAY
• Rated, free or against a friend on the same device, with an optional board flip
• With or without a clock, from 1 to 60 minutes plus increment, with a low-time warning
• Move list while you play and hints when you get stuck
• Focus mode hides everything but the board
SEE WHERE YOUR GAME TURNED
• Full game review with the evaluation graph and the best move for every position

LEARN WITH A PLAN
