Our Expert Score

84/100

Chess Deluxe is a solid, professional-grade chess engine that focuses on a clean, premium visual experience. In a store full of cluttered chess apps, this one stands out for its 'Deluxe' aestheticβ€”the boards and pieces are beautifully rendered, and the UI feels like a high-end luxury app.

The AI is competent and offers a wide range of difficulty levels, making it suitable for everyone from beginners learning the ropes to seasoned club players looking for a quick match. What I appreciate most is the 'Undo' and 'Hint' system which is integrated subtly, allowing you to learn from your mistakes without feeling like the game is playing itself. It’s a dependable, high-quality chess companion for your pocket.
