Knightfall is a beautiful, feature-rich chess app that combines world-class engine play with on-device AI coaching — all in a sleek dark theme built for modern Android.
♞ PLAY THE AI
Challenge Stockfish 18 — the strongest chess engine on the planet — at six difficulty levels from casual beginner (~700 Elo) all the way up to Master (~3000 Elo). Whether you're learning your first opening or sharpening your endgame technique, there's a level that challenges you just enough.
🧠 MEET YOUR COACH
Download the optional on-device Gemma 4 AI coach (2.5 GB, one-time download, runs completely offline after that). Coach Gemma watches every game in real time and offers natural-language commentary after each move — no cloud required, no subscription, no data leaving your device. Ask her anything: "Why did I lose that pawn?" or "What's my best plan here?"
