The Chess Tempo app, a companion to Chesstempo.com, offers a comprehensive suite of chess training tools optimized for mobile and tablet devices. Whether you're looking to sharpen your tactics, delve into endgames, or master your openings, this app has you covered with a user-friendly interface designed to enhance your chess skills on the go.

Chess Tactics Training

Hone your tactical prowess with over 100,000 puzzles designed to challenge and improve your game. Whether you're focusing on winning or defensive strategies, the app provides a diverse range of problems to tackle. Premium members can dive deeper with custom sets tailored to specific tactical motifs like pins, forks, and discovered attacks, or focus on previous mistakes to reinforce learning. The app leverages a spaced repetition algorithm to prioritize puzzles you struggle with, ensuring continuous improvement. Note that while custom sets can be utilized within the app, they must first be created on the Chesstempo.com website.

Play Online

Engage in live or correspondence chess matches against other Chesstempo users. After each rated game, benefit from a detailed post-game analysis powered by our cluster of Stockfish instances, delivering high-quality insights in just seconds. Premium members can further enhance their learning by extracting tactics problems from their games, which can then be solved within the tactics training interface using advanced custom sets.

Opening Training

Develop your opening repertoire with flexibility and precision. Create and manage multiple black and white repertoires, importing them from PGN files or by directly entering moves on the board. Utilize spaced repetition to train your openings, with options to focus on specific branches, single repertoires, or all repertoires of a color. You can also limit training to a certain depth and target moves resistant to learning. Enhance your training with the ability to comment on positions, view public comments, add engine evaluations, and annotate moves. Export your repertoires and annotations to PGN, and track your learning progress with detailed graphs. The opening explorer assists in choosing moves, with premium members gaining access to cloud engine analysis for deeper insights.

Endgame Training

Master the critical phase of the game with endgame training covering positions from 3 to 7 pieces, extracted from real games. With over 14,000 positions available, free members can practice 2 positions per day, while premium members enjoy access to more positions and custom sets. These sets can focus on specific endgame types, repeat positions you find challenging, or use spaced repetition for efficient learning. Note that some custom set types need to be created on the Chesstempo website before use on the app.

Guess the Move

Enhance your understanding of master games by playing through them and getting scored on how closely you match the master's moves. This feature provides a unique way to learn from the best and improve your own gameplay.

Analysis Board

Dive deep into positions with our cloud engines, a feature available to premium members. This allows for high-quality analysis without draining your device's battery. Diamond members can utilize up to 8 analysis threads, significantly increasing the depth and speed of analysis. Set up positions using FEN notation or directly on the board with our editor, and analyze tactics problems post-completion for a better understanding of solutions.
