- Improved lessons and user interface.
SparkChess Pro is perhaps the best chess app for someone looking to actually improve their game rather than just play. The 'Virtual Chess Coach' is a standout feature, offering real-time explanations of why a certain move might be a mistake or how it affects the board state. This educational layer makes it much more accessible than standard chess engines that simply give you a numerical evaluation.
The visual variety is excellent, ranging from clean 2D boards for serious study to a stunning 3D 'Fantasy' set that adds a bit of flair to casual matches. The multiplayer community is active and respectful, aided by the built-in anti-abuse measures. Whether you are learning your first openings or importing PGN files to study Grandmaster games, SparkChess Pro provides all the tools a chess lover could ask for in a beautiful, unified package.

Absolutely. It includes comprehensive lessons and a coach that explains moves, making it ideal for those learning the game.
I loved playing SparkChess on the browser version. This is one of the first Apps I installed on my iPad. I recommend it to the students that I teach. I had a problem with an older version, but it was fixed. This is one of my favorite chess apps. It has a ton of features.
Enjoy all the training and options, however it’s terrible to use on an iPhone. The screen display (4.7”) is too small to consistently identify pieces on the board without spreading fingers. Then you lose the board positioning. The zoom/shrink/fight the rotation takes all the joy out of using the app. Not expensive, but the limited use makes me wish I had gone for the “lite” version. Not going to get an IPad just to use this app.
SparkChess is a fun and versatile game. It’s good for learning and can be a great challenge!
App won't open. Dec please help. I'll give a good review because I like the browser version but I might change it later
Love this game! The only thing that I can think is superior to this game is HIARCS chess!
Enjoyable game play it everyday
The 50 move rule is only 25 moves for some reason. This can turn a win into a draw. Please fix.
I just bought the pro edition and can’t even play multiplayer online
