What Makes Chess Royale Stand Out
► THE ONLY CHESS APP YOU NEED
Whether you’re a complete beginner or a highly experienced player, Chess Royale has everything you could need to enjoy one of the world’s greatest board games on your mobile device. Play with the AI, with friends, or with millions of strangers all over the world, then train your chess skills with tutorials, puzzles, and post-game analysis. One of the greatest things about chess is that there’s always something new to learn, and this beautifully designed app will allow you to keep on discovering the magic of chess and enhancing your love of the game day after day.
► WHY CHESS?
◾ With a history that stretches back over millennia, chess is both a vital cultural artefact and a beloved pastime that brings together millions of players all over the world.
◾ Renowned as a fierce test of the intellect, chess provides incredible training for your brain. Regularly playing chess and solving puzzles can train your strategic skills, develop logical and lateral thinking, help with learning and understanding psychology, improve your analysis and enhance your memory.
◾ It’s fun! Chess may be intimidating for beginners, but the more you learn and the better you understand the game, the more entertaining and rewarding it becomes. There’s some reason why it has remained among the most popular board games in the world for centuries, after all.
► WHY CHESS ROYALE?
◾ It pays to be popular: With over 50 000 000 players across all popular platforms, Chess Royale ensures there’s always a real opponent of similar skill online and ready to play in a variety of multiplayer formats.
◾ Endless variations: Not only can you challenge real players of different skill levels, you can also play in eight different modes. Play blitzes with varying time limitations, use the notifications system to play with friends when they’re online, test yourself in private against the game’s AI, and enter and arrange tournaments of various formats for more multiplayer fun.
◾ More than just a game: Chess Royale boasts more than 5000 chess puzzles to help you train specific aspects of your game. The app also features analysis tools that you can use post-match to help with your learning and development. And there is a trainer for beginners and more advanced players to get a better grasp of this intensely rich and complex game.
Despite the wonders of modern technology, you’ll be hard pressed to find a mobile game that’s as challenging, enjoyable, and intellectually satisfying as chess. Whether you’re looking for just a new game to play online or a trainer to help you take the very first steps in exploring the magic of chess, Chess Royale offers something extra. Download the app now to discover the ultimate mobile chess environment.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Needs a timer for moves during play: innactive players.
Excellent chess game very challenging.
It is such a thrilling game especially when you get your first checkmate ever. Overall its just so fun.
How does one improve upon 1000.
Now we cant link to facebook , our all titles are gone.
Its a great app but dang we gotta wait so long with so many ads to get to play another game.
Fun game just getting back into playing chess after 10 years.. Really enjoying the tips.
The game is so similar to real chess.
We love the game but only thing once u become friends u cant play for coins so its not fun playing ur friends and besides that u cant do anything with the coins cant even buy nothing.
We absolutely love this. We have litttle time to play and little people to play with but this helps a lot, we recommend this to anyone who loves chess.
Im new but this has been good in helping our learn.
Game is fun. You really win. We just dont like the ads.
Im loving it serving your life skills.
This app is outstanding for chess players. Our only two issues are when we recommend this to friends they get bored and frustrated with the mandatory orientational introduction games versus the computer. Our second of the two issues are the game forces you to start at a weaker level and build your way up to the best level. We think if they did NOT make the orientational game versus the computer MANDATORY, as well as implement a fast track for more veteran players this would be the #1 chess game created. However this is still a 5/5 for us.
Our opponent was probably fairly new to the game of chess. He/she should learn more about opening moves. Im no Grandmaster, but Ive probably played a few thousand games more than they have.
Needs a timer for moves during play: innactive players.
Excellent chess game very challenging.
We dont have to pay any money to see our mistake.
If your not first than your last.
It actually teaches you which moves to make. Couldnt believe Id love chess like this. Started on Duo Lingo into this app and we getting the hang of things.
Just pay the $5 to take away the ads. This app is awesome.
Today July 2025 we re-started playing, in order to regain more strategies during period before going to sleep. We had to quit the complete Facebook connection ten years ago and after we saw the Queens Gambit in Netflix began practice again. Love this third platform better than previous two.
Algunos jugadores abandonan las partidas sino lo toman en serio que lo desinstalen.
When this Ogury ad plays it comes on during game play. It blocks the whole screen, the screen is black. Except a very thin area along the top. They do not display an X to close the screen. We have lost a few games because of this ad. By the time it lets you back in your play time has expired. Hopefully you can address this issue sooner than later. It has affected 2 of our games today alone. A few games last week too. Thanks, Bill.
From our experience from the game, we have learned and understood the game more easier, by just doing some lesson! Which is really hopefully for us. We have really enjoyed the game.
We were thinking what if the challenge function allowed you to challenge any player that you have played on your list that you have lost to that allows you to challenge them and state time and points chosen for the game you can state a challenge of points up to your own choice.
War on a checkered pattern board! A game for all to enjoy.
Amazing game and the game lets us learn more chess.
We love the competition on all levels. The game is addictive to us.
Im learning how to play chess better and Im getting really good.
An awesome chess app. No complaints.
Like playing with people from different countries.
We have played this App for a couple of years. Its great until it starts freezing and repeats error messages. We just deleted the App we were using with 36 m points and a 59 percent win rate due to constant error messages. Hoping this one works better. Just deleted the App a second time yesterday after 1B points, freezing up again. Love to play the game until it stops working.
This game is free to download. Its really good really fair and no possible cheating. Theres also really good matches.
Chess is. Classic game this one makes it easy to move pieces and to play the game. Opponents are skilled and there is trainers and daily mate puzzles.
Great game easy and helps you learn as well.
This is the best game Ive ever played.
Its been quite a while Ive played, so this game is helping us to get back into it.
Chess is such a great mind builder. Strategy and philosophy.
Amazing would recommend for new and good/experienced players.
It's a pretty good video game but to many ads.
Wonderful game it has helped advance our chess knowledge so much and the puzzles and interaction has been great.
The game is Chess, we like Chess, Chess is 5 stars, theres your dang review.
Best chess app out there that Ive come across you can practice, play alone , play with others around the world and always no matter when holiday middle of the night or day always in seconds you have an opponent to play with or also u can play with ur friend around the world or someone r if ht next to you that you personally know and as a bonus you can learn moves to checkmate quicker. An DM the best you can analyse each game and practice where you need it and best part Ive yet to mention its also free just a few ads here and there try it you will also agree.
Its a pretty good chess game not too many ads only if you want some extra stuff. Good matchmaking system makes you feel like youre slowly getting better with every match and the puzzles are fun so we would say its a pretty good chess game.
We love chess. We dont have chess so this game is perfect.
W game teaching us how to play chess.
Its super fun we have had 5 wins and a draw it makes it simple enough for you to play fast and effective but not to fast you get one minute to move.
The best chess app we have found.
Es muy buena y es uno de los mejores que e jugado.
