The Chess Tempo app offers a comprehensive suite of tools designed to enhance your chess skills through a user-friendly mobile and tablet interface, mirroring the features available on Chesstempo.com. Here's a detailed look at the currently supported features:
CHESS TACTICS TRAINING
Elevate your tactical prowess with an extensive library of over 100,000 chess puzzles. These puzzles encompass both winning and defensive scenarios, ensuring a well-rounded training experience. For premium members, the app offers sophisticated custom sets tailored to your weaknesses. These can focus on specific tactical motifs such as pins, forks, or discovered attacks, or target your previous mistakes for repeated practice until you master them. Additionally, the app employs a spaced repetition learning algorithm, prioritizing puzzles you frequently get wrong over those you've already mastered. Note that while these custom sets can be utilized within the app, they must initially be created on the Chesstempo.com website.
PLAY ONLINE
Engage in competitive play against other Chesstempo users, with options for both live and correspondence games. After each rated game, benefit from a thorough post-game analysis powered by our cluster of hundreds of Stockfish instances, delivering high-quality insights in mere seconds. Premium members can further enhance their learning by having tactics problems extracted from their rated games, available for solving in the tactics training interface and customizable via the advanced custom sets feature.
OPENING TRAINING
Develop your opening strategies with the ability to create multiple black and white repertoires. Import these from PGN files or by manually entering moves on the board. Utilize spaced repetition to refine your training, focusing on specific branches, single repertoires, or all repertoires of a particular color. You can also limit training to a certain depth and target moves that prove resistant to learning. Enhance your understanding by adding comments and engine evaluations or annotations to each move, and export your repertoires complete with comments and annotations to PGN format. Track your progress with graphs showcasing your learning status and history over time. Free members can use the opening explorer to select moves up to a depth of 10 moves, while premium members can leverage the cloud engine for detailed analysis of any position.
ENDGAME TRAINING
Sharpen your endgame skills by practicing from a vast collection of over 14,000 positions, ranging from 3 to 7 pieces, sourced from real games. Free members can access 2 positions per day, whereas premium members enjoy increased daily access and custom sets tailored to specific endgame types or those you struggle with most. These sets also utilize spaced repetition for efficient learning, though some custom set types must be created on the Chesstempo website before use in the app.
GUESS THE MOVE
Immerse yourself in learning by playing through master games and earning scores based on how closely your moves match those of the masters.
ANALYSIS BOARD
Conduct in-depth position analysis using our cloud engines, a feature exclusive to premium members. This allows for high-quality analysis without draining your device's battery. Diamond members can request up to 8 analysis threads, enabling significantly more positions to be analyzed per second than a local engine could handle. Set up positions using FEN or the board editor and analyze tactics problems post-completion for a deeper understanding of solutions.
With the Chess Tempo app, you can transform your mobile device into a powerful chess training tool, whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an advanced player aiming to refine your skills.
