Chess Score Pad A modern electronic scoresheet designed for over-the-board tournament play. Record moves effortlessly and export PGN for post-game analysis. Chess Score Pad replaces paper scoresheets with a clean, distraction-free way to record your games move by move — so you can focus on playing, not writing. Designed by a tournament player with hundreds of USCF-rated games, Chess Score Pad is built for over-the-board chess and post-game review. Record games naturally • Enter moves by tapping or dragging pieces • No coordinates to write, no notation to translate • All moves are saved automatically — no “Save” button required • Easy move correction if a mistake happens Review positions and games • Step through moves one at a time • Scrub through the game with a live position slider • On iPad, view the board and notation side by side • Quickly return to critical positions after the game Export and share • Export games as PGN for analysis in your chess database • Share via AirDrop, Mail, Messages, Files, Notes, Clipboard, and compatible chess apps • Export a professional PDF scoresheet with a position diagram Built for tournament play • Start recording immediately — game details are optional • “Next Game of Event” copies event info and increments the round • Automatically place your pieces at the bottom of the board • Optional legal-move and position checking • Optional move-time tracking Flexible notation • Long or short algebraic notation • Figurine or standard notation Important note Chess Score Pad is an electronic scoresheet and does not provide analysis or engine assistance.

Love this app!

Does everything in an efficient and intuitive fashion, I’m amazed I never found this before. You must get tons of suggestions, I was wondering if you might include the ability to add ??, !!, !? And ?! notations to moves. This would greatly help with later analysis. It is wonderful to see a developer that provides regular feedback to customers. Thank you again for the wonderful app!

Simple design and it works for what I need it for. Not much else to say. I hope the developer(s) continue to maintain it and even add to it over time.

Can we get different board colors

Any chance to get different board colors or at least lighten the dark green squares a little? The black pieces kind of get lost against the dark green background is my only complaint and I really like using the app. This would make it better.

Developer Response
An option for a wooden chess board was added in Version 1.90 The dark squares on the wooden board are lighter and so there is more contrast for the black pieces. Other users have mentioned this issue. Thanks for the feedback!

Great app for easy recording of chess games

This app has a lot of great features for what it allows you to do as far as recording chess games. What I would like to see added is a built in player list for those club players you play the most.

Developer Response
Thanks for taking the time to write this review! Chess Score Pad can use your Contacts for club players you play the most. Just add them to your Contacts (I have a "Chess Players" group in my Contacts) and when entering your opponent's name, just tap the "+" button to get to your Contacts. This is covered in the users guide at http://chessscorepad.com
