Comments on Chess960 for Android

★★★★★ Jason Moon · May 11, 2024
I am pleasantly surprised at the strength of the AI. It's better than the 960 bots on Chess dot com. This is a good app. Anyone who enjoys 960 should appreciate it. It may not appeal to chess beginners. Even on the easy setting, it is a strong opponent. If beginners stick with it though, I think it would definitely improve their skills.
★★★★☆ Gokul Gokul raj · Mar 8, 2026
It is too tough sometimes but easy sometimes
★★★★★ Rakesh Kumar Singh · Feb 1, 2025
It's a great way to practice the skill, basics, and I'll mproving alertness during game.
★★★★★ michael arnold · Sep 4, 2025
This is so nice to have a random 960 generator fun when you play with a human and have this app does a random shuffle and play off that shuffle great tool to use for fun matches that are unpredictable
★★★★★ Chris Butterfield · Mar 26, 2026
It's a really fun app. Only two complaints. The engine doesn't recognize draws on repetition nor 50 moves without pawn advance. It only recognizes a draw when there are no legal moves
★★☆☆☆ donald boehm · Sep 8, 2024
it doesn't tell you what number you are on chessboard of chess 960
★☆☆☆☆ Michael Pettersen · Sep 13, 2025
Really bad for beginners. Level 1 (the easiest) is so easy that even as a beginner you can win without losing a piece, no problem. Level 2 you get annihilated by the AI every time you make a mistake. You do that a lot as a beginner, so there is no room for progress. It is easy to win, or you get f**ked. No room for involvement. As a beginner not recommended. There is only baby level or expert level

Welcome to Chess960: Fresh Moves, a new twist on the classic chess game you can play on your phone. This game changes up the starting line-up of the chess pieces, making every match different and exciting.

Bobby Fischer, a famous chess player, came up with Chess960 in the late 1990s. He wanted to make chess fun again by mixing up where the pieces start. This means players need to think of new strategies every time they play, not just remember old moves.
