Chess Online & Offline

Chess for online games and offline practice

Chess Online & Offline from Splend Apps is built for players who want a chessboard on hand without needing the same kind of opponent every time. Play rated games online, challenge friends, or work through a match against the computer when you are offline. Computer difficulty ranges from beginner to expert, making it suitable for learning the basics as well as testing established habits.

Useful tools during a game

The board includes markers for legal moves, captures, the last move and a king in check. You can review the game history while playing and use premoves when you already know your response. Sound effects and haptic feedback can be enabled for moves, while different board and piece styles let you adjust the presentation without changing how the game works.

• Online matches with players around the world
• Offline games against a computer
• Friend challenges and invitations
• 21 board styles and 16 piece sets
• More than 3,000 recognised openings and variations

Practice beyond full matches

For shorter sessions, the puzzle section offers more than 500,000 chess tactics. Positions cover mates, checks, endgames, pins, forks, skewers and sacrifices, with points for finding the best move. The app also identifies openings such as the Sicilian Defense, Queen’s Gambit, Caro-Kann Defense, Italian Game and French Defense, which can help connect a played game with familiar patterns.

Established and widely used

With a 4.77 rating from 338,253 reviews and more than 10,000,000 installs, Chess Online & Offline has a substantial base of regular players. It suits anyone looking for one app that covers casual games, structured practice and competitive online play, rather than a chess interface made mainly for display.
