Description
♞ IMPROVE YOUR CHESS
ChessEye improves your rating through chess visualization and calculation training. Old chess masters got stronger through self play, analysis, playing strong opponents and analyzing games with them. ChessEye make you a stronger player by replicating the same process.
ChessEye is suitable for all rating ranges from 1000-2400. It is a must for all tournament chess players and online chess players serious about improving their game.
❌ TACTIC TRAINERS ARE FLAWED
A normal tactics trainer might tell you play as white and win. It might also show the theme of a puzzle. E.g. Mate-in-1, Mate-in-2, smothered mate, distraction, decoy, pin, fork, skewer, sacrifice, discovered attack, interception, x-ray and under-promotion etc. This is different from a chess game because
❌ You already know there is a chess tactic in the position. ❌ Neglects Chess strategy, planning and defense. ❌ It can build bad calculation habits. ❌ Positions have only correct move. ❌ There's no incentive to calculate till the end in your mind. You can guess. ❌ You don't have to evaluate the chess position.
💪 CALCULATE LIKE A CHESS GAME
ChessEye gives a random mix of positions. You have to visualize the chessboard, calculate variations & come up with a plan. Then, you enter your moves with algebraic notation or by drawing arrows. You cannot move the pieces. This approach has many advantages:
✅ You don't know if there is a tactic in the position. ✅ Emphasizes Chess Strategy, Calculation and Planning. ✅ Guessing leads to low score. ✅ Visualize, evaluate the position at the end of your variation. ✅ Retry & figure out better plans. ✅ Sensible grading of each move instead of just correct or wrong.
🧩 UNLIMITED FREE CHESS PUZZLES
You will never run out of challenges! ChessEye contains:
✅120,000+ chess tactics of all difficulties & themes. ✅ 20,000+ most instructive games of grandmasters & strong online players.

Comments on Chess · Visualize & Calculate for Android
★★★★★
A very good app for training in chess visualization. Keeping track of the positions of the pieces is very crucial to chess improvement. It is also good in blindfold chess training.
★★★★★
Great way to practice evaluation and calculation in chess. Sometimes the positions are difficult, and you have to spend awhile figuring it out. Puzzles can fit so many varieties of ratings, thanks developer(s)!
★★☆☆☆
I want to like it, but starting off 1st puzzle the interface doesn't make much sense. My moves in green, the try again and next button below, but everything between those two don't make relational sense. Below all that is a "spoiler" consisting of a fen board notation and the eval "You're better". Ridiculous and useless spoiler. Show me better moves. How many moves do we input, do we play the entire game in our heads? Who knows? I replay the first puzzle, same moves and get a different score.
★★☆☆☆
Wish I could give it a 0. It's probably the worst chess app I've ever downloaded. I feel like this must have been a first attempt at making an app. It has absolutely no direction and the "tutorial" is laughable. I love chess puzzles, but this app is a joke.
★★☆☆☆
I was probably unlucky. I tried a puzzle, and it marked my solution wrong. I thought it was weird so I verified with lichens engine, that my solution was indeed correct. My input was also correct, so im not sure what happened. Then I went to try "future positions" and the "solution" had 5 errors.
★★☆☆☆
Google play games "make a profile" keeps covering the screen. I do not have this google play games app, I do not have, and do not want an account. I cannot stop this by turning off notifications. I never got to use the app. ??????
