Our Expert Score

92/100

Chess Tiger Pro is widely regarded as one of the most powerful and feature-rich chess engines available for mobile devices. It manages to cater to two very different audiences: beginners looking to learn and grandmasters looking for a portable analysis tool. The 'Coach' feature is particularly brilliant for learners, suggesting not just one move, but the top four moves a Grandmaster would pick, allowing players to learn by intuition and flow rather than just memorization.

For the serious player, the engine's strength is formidable, often performing at a world-champion level on modern hardware. The app is packed with professional features like PGN import/export, an opening book with over a million moves, and deep game analysis that highlights mistakes in red. The absence of ads and the clean, customizable interface make it a joy to use. While it is more expensive than many other chess apps, the depth of its analysis and the quality of its teaching tools make it an essential investment for anyone serious about the game.

Do you want to master the most prestigious, the classiest game ever, while having fun?

It's EASY! For starters, there are no ads to distract you. There's no account to create, and you don't even need to be connected to the Internet.

How does it work? It's really simple: you just play! The coach shows you the moves a Grandmaster would pick. Not just one move, but THE 4 BEST MOVES.

Sounds too simple? But think about it... How did you learn to speak as a child? Did you take grammar and spelling lessons? Of course not. You listened to the adults talk and then you went for it! Because that's how you learn!

In just 2 minutes, you start learning effortlessly. You'll immediately enjoy playing, and after a few games you'll notice that the right moves come naturally to you, as if they were self-evident.
