Simple Chess : Play & Learn

Simple Chess is a clean, complete chess app you can play anywhere - no internet needed, no ads, no sign-up. Just chess.

Beat the computer, sharpen your tactics on thousands of puzzles, learn with interactive lessons, and the part most free apps skip - review every game move by move to see exactly where it turned.

PLAY

- Take on the computer at five levels, from Beginner to Expert.

- NEW to chess? Beginner actually plays like a beginner - it makes real mistakes you can punish, instead of a "beginner" that never slips.

- Your progress is backed up to your Google account, so your rating, streaks, history and trophies survive a reinstall or a new phone. No sign-up, no password.

- Pass & Play two-player chess on one device.

- Full FIDE rules: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, the 50-move rule, threefold repetition — all handled correctly.

REVIEW YOUR GAMES

- Replay any finished game move by move.

- Each move is graded Best, Good, Inaccuracy, Mistake, or Blunder, with an evaluation bar - so you learn from your own play, not just lose and move on.

SOLVE PUZZLES

- 3,000+ hand-picked tactics puzzles across 8 themes, with 500+ in every single theme: Forks, Pins, Skewers, Back-rank Mates, Smothered Mates, Discovered Attacks, Sacrifices, and Promotions.

- A fresh Daily Puzzle every day, plus a calendar to revisit past days.

- Puzzles adapt to your rating, so they stay challenging as you improve.

LEARN

- 16 interactive lessons, from how the pieces move to forks, pins, skewers, back-rank and smothered mates, endgames, and opening principles. Play the moves yourself as you learn.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS

- An ELO rating that rises and falls with your results.

- A daily-puzzle streak and a play streak to keep you coming back.

- Earn trophies for milestones: your first win, win streaks, puzzle and daily-streak goals, finishing the lessons, and climbing the ranks.

- Match history of your recent games.

- An optional daily reminder so you never miss your puzzle.
