What is Lucas Chess?

The app offers a comprehensive chess experience, allowing users to play against computer opponents of varying difficulty levels. The core gameplay involves facing off against chess engines of increasing strength, with the ability to progress through a series of difficulty tiers. As players win games, they accumulate points that unlock access to stronger engines, creating a gradual challenge that caters to users of all skill levels

Highlights

  • Diverse training content: Includes thousands of training positions covering endgames, tactical combinations, and chess problems (mate in 2, 3, 4, and more) to help players improve their skills
  • Adaptive difficulty: The computer engines start at a lower strength, but as players win more games, the engines are given more calculation time, gradually increasing in difficulty
  • Tiered progression: To advance to the next difficulty level, players must win games against the current engine twice, once with the white pieces and once with the black pieces, earning more points for each victory
  • Robust engine selection: The app features a selection of powerful chess engines, including top-ranked programs like Rybka and Stockfish, which can provide a formidable challenge even for professional-level players.
