The Chess Tempo app offers a comprehensive suite of tools to enhance your chess skills, accessible through a user-friendly mobile and tablet interface. Here's a detailed look at the features currently supported:
CHESS TACTICS TRAINING
Elevate your tactical prowess with over 100,000 puzzles designed to sharpen your skills. The app includes both winning and defensive problem types, ensuring a well-rounded training experience. Premium members can take advantage of sophisticated custom sets tailored to target specific weaknesses, such as:
- Sets focused on particular tactical motifs like pins, forks, and discovered attacks.
- Sets that revisit your previous mistakes, allowing you to practice until you get it right.
- Sets utilizing a spaced repetition learning algorithm, prioritizing problems you struggle with over those you've mastered.
Please note that while custom sets can be used within the app, they must first be created on the Chesstempo.com website.
PLAY ONLINE
Engage in thrilling chess matches against other Chesstempo users. The app supports both live and correspondence games, offering flexibility to suit your schedule. After every rated game, benefit from a comprehensive post-game analysis powered by our cluster of hundreds of Stockfish instances, delivering high-quality insights in just seconds. Premium members can further enhance their learning by having tactics problems extracted from their rated games, available for solving within the tactics training UI and customizable via advanced custom sets.
OPENING TRAINING
Craft and refine multiple black and white repertoires to master your opening strategies. Import repertoires from PGN files or by entering moves directly on the board. Utilize spaced repetition to train your repertoires effectively, with options to focus on specific branches, single repertoires, or all repertoires of a color. You can also limit training to a certain depth and target moves that resist learning through spaced repetition. Enhance your training with the ability to comment on positions or moves, view public comments from others, add engine evaluations or annotations, and export your repertoire, comments, and annotations to PGN. Track your progress with graphs showing your learning status and history over time. Use the opening explorer to select moves for your repertoire (limited to a depth of 10 moves for free members). Premium members can leverage the cloud engine for in-depth analysis of any position.
ENDGAME TRAINING
Hone your endgame skills with practice positions ranging from 3 to 7 pieces, extracted from real games. With over 14,000 different positions available, free members can access 2 positions per day, while premium members enjoy more daily positions and the ability to use custom sets. These sets can target specific endgame types, focus on positions you frequently get wrong, or employ spaced repetition for effective learning. Note that some custom set types need to be created on the Chesstempo website before use in the app.
GUESS THE MOVE
Immerse yourself in master games and test your decision-making by guessing the next move, receiving scores based on how closely you match the master's choices.
ANALYSIS BOARD
Dive deep into 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, significantly increasing the number of positions analyzed per second compared to a local engine. Set up positions using FEN notation or the board editor, and analyze tactics problems post-completion to gain a deeper understanding of the solutions.
The Chess Tempo app is your ultimate companion for mastering chess, offering a rich array of training tools and analysis features to help you improve your game on the go.
