PLEASE GIVE US A GOOD RATING AND REVIEW (if you think we deserve it, of course)!

The key feature of the app is the ability to play turn-based games online with players around the world. Players may participate in an unlimited number of correspondence-style games, with time limits of days per move instead of minutes per game. The app also has a built-in top-level chess computer engine that can serve as an opponent with skill levels of 1-10, or as an analysis tool. There is also a tactics trainer that serves up timed chess puzzles and records a score. Finally, there are chess instructional videos provided by Grandmasters and top chess coaches.

The app can be visually customized to use any one of 81 possible board and pieces combinations, among other settings.

“I’m personally very excited about the iPhone app. I play on my own site several hours a day, and this app will allow me and our iPhone-enabled members to play chess while on the go.” says Erik, owner of Chess.com. “We’ve been working on this for 9 months – I can’t wait to offer this to our members.”

Yes, I am the guy who started Chess.com (along with Jay, Igor, Piotr, and many others). I have 3 amazing daughters, one wild son, and a wonderful, patient wife! I learned chess when I was 8 years old. Since then I have been playing, studying, and enjoying it regularly. I prefer semi-open and closed positions that blow up tactically (like the Closed Sicilian, King's Indian, Glek etc).
