About this game

Checkmating takes you from your very first move to master-level chess, in a living 3D world.

CLIMB FROM PAWN TO GRANDMASTER
Eleven ranks, from Pawn to Grandmaster, set close to real rating levels. Each rank has clear goals: lessons to finish, puzzles to reach, bots to beat. You always know what to do next.

AN ACADEMY THAT GROWS WITH YOU
Seven modules take you from the board and the rules to strategy and endgames. Walk the board "on the ground" as each piece, learn checkmate technique against Stockfish, train tactics and board vision, and get lessons built from the mistakes in your own games, so you never repeat them.

OVER 4 MILLION PUZZLES
Rated puzzles from 400 to 3000, weak-spot training, a daily puzzle and a master puzzle of the day. Race the clock in Puzzle Rush: three minutes, or Survival with three lives.

PLAY BOTS WITH PERSONALITY
Fourteen opponents from first steps to grandmaster strength, each with its own style: the romantic gambiteer, the iron wall, the endgame machine, the magician. They talk back, too.

A GRANDMASTER COACH
Ask why a move works, what your opponent is planning, or how to beat the opening in front of you. The coach looks at your exact position and checks every idea with Stockfish.

PLAY PEOPLE ONLINE
Quick pairing in bullet, blitz, rapid, classical and daily, plus Chess960, Crazyhouse, Three-check and King of the Hill, each with its own rating.

ARENAS, FRIENDS AND MESSAGES
Join an arena tournament every hour, or create your own and invite friends. Add friends, message them and challenge them to a game.

MY GAMES
Every game you finish is kept with its opening, a Stockfish review and its PGN, plus your results, favourite openings and rating history.

TEAM CHESS
Build a team with friends. On your turn everyone suggests a move and explains why, and the captain plays the best idea. Explaining your thinking is one of the fastest ways to improve.

BADGES AND PROFILES
Earn 67 badges as you learn and win, share them, and show your country's flag on your profile.

CHECKMATING PRO
Everything above is free except the full Academy (Foundations and the Pawn chapter are free), Openings (the explorer, practice lines and your own repertoire) and chatting with the coach. Checkmating Pro is $4.99 per month through Google Play. It renews automatically until you cancel it, which you can do any time in Google Play → Payments & subscriptions.
