Chess - Chessie (for Kids)

Meet Chessie, a brave little prince in red armor who teaches kids chess through a real adventure.

Safe for kids. No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases. Just chess, story, and clever puzzles.

A real adventure
Five worlds. Five memorable opponents. 26 cutscenes with humor parents will enjoy too. This is not a chess trainer with a story pasted on top. It is a real adventure, and chess is how you move through it.

Outsmart Lili, the ancient Fennec Fox in the Desert. Survive Mika the Polar Bear and her chaotic attacks in the Snow Kingdom. Unravel Evelyn the Fox's master plan in Windmill Valley. Match David the Tiger's boundless energy in the Jungle. And face Lars the Lion in the Football Stadium, the final boss who asked if he could keep his costume.

Learn without even noticing
17 interactive lessons take you from "which one is the horse?" to forks, pins, skewers, and discovered attacks. Every lesson includes practice puzzles. Every puzzle comes with an explanation. Chessie coaches you in real time, celebrating brilliant moves and gently nudging you after mistakes.

100 puzzles + daily challenge
Checkmate in 1, 2, or 3. Forks, pins, skewers, discovered attacks. Filter by difficulty. Build a streak. One new puzzle every day.

The world's strongest chess engine, tuned to feel more human. All official FIDE chess rules are correctly implemented: checkmate, stalemate, draws by repetition, the 50-move rule, insufficient material, and flag fall. At lower levels, it makes realistic mistakes. At higher levels, up to 2200 Elo, it can challenge serious players. Six playing styles: positional, aggressive, creative, tactical, defensive, and all-round.

Crazy Chess
20 wild starting positions. Four knights versus four bishops. Eight pawns racing to promote. One queen versus three rooks. Each variant teaches a real chess idea through creative chaos.
