Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Description
NEW! tChess is a "universal binary" and is designed for the iPhone AND iPad, so you don't have to buy two different apps.
NEW! tChess now supports turn-based Game Center (new for iOS 5) in addition to real-time Game Center!
tChess Pro is the high-quality, critically acclaimed chess game with the richest features for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. It's perfect for every player:
Beginners:
Not everybody is a chess master! Most chess games are too strong or just make random mistakes at easier levels. tChess Pro has unique algorithms to simulate human opponents.
Experts:
tChess Pro has a top-tier chess engine. (Over 380 ELO points stronger than Caissa Chess.)
Enthusiasts:
tChess Pro's Analysis Mode is like having a chess master in your pocket. You can get the engine's "expert opinion" about any game or position in real-time: which side is winning, and the best sequence of moves. Just like a professional desktop chess package.
More key features:
- Perfect for 1- or 2-player games
- Strong computer opponent
- Play against any ELO rating from 500 to 2500
- Integrated "Learn Chess" e-book app (Apple Staff Favorite!)
- Opening Library feature lets you explore chess opening theory as you play
- PGN Database feature lets you download and view PGN files
- Support for 3-stage time controls with Fischer increments
- Position Editor to enter positions from books, newspapers, etc.
- Save and load games; export them in standard PGN format
- Use the Profile feature to play rated games against the computer and track your progress
tChess Pro is developed by Tom Kerrigan, author of the TSCP and Stobor chess engines.

Customer Reviews
Excellent app and customer support
I bought this app since it was most flexible for installing and solving puzzles using pgn files. Files are easy to load, and you can navigate thru puzzles with 2 clicks. Tom replied back to my questions quickly, and provided upgrades I requested. In addition, the flexibility in elo rating from 500 to 2500 is great, and my 5 year old son is having a blast. Highly recommend this app.
Perfection
By far the best chess app for iOS and an absolute steal at $7.99. One request: An in-game reference manual that details the many features of this app would be much appreciated (love the in-game chess tutorial, though.)
Nice Chess
This is good. I like it. Thank you very much.
