Free Chess

Free Chess is a lightweight casual gaming app that provides all Windows PC users with incredibly well-created chess challenges. Built from the ground up to satisfy both chess novices and seasoned players, Free Chess for Desktop comes with a smartly defined set of options for streamlining play no matter the level of challenge the game needs to showcase to satisfy gamers from all around the world.

The app comes with built-in support for ten levels of difficulty and local multiplayer play sessions, and even a toggle that can switch the game from the 2D to 3D view. Because of its limited size and feature set, Chess for PC lacks the capability of connecting to online servers and establishing online matches against distant players.

Novices will be glad to hear that this version of virtual chess can help them with various tools such as “Undo” for fixing any mistakes and “Hint” buttons that will recommend the next move. Players who want to learn from their matches can activate the logging option that will record all the moves. This transcription can be copied and saved at any point during the game, no matter if you play against an AI player, another person on your PC, or via the internet.

However, be aware that this game lacks any kind of tutorial, so novices will have to learn the hard way by testing their skill against CPU or live opponents. Thankfully, the game can be set so that the CPU battles against itself, giving novices the chance to observe the tactics that the CPU commonly uses.

Free Chess comes in a small installation package that can be downloaded and installed on desktop PCs and laptops of all ages in mere seconds. The app is incredibly lightweight and will not strain your CPU resources, and comes with built-in support for four international languages. Integrated with Stockfish for PC engine!

The Chess game is 100% free, and it features unlockable services, paywalls, or any other hidden features. It optimized for all versions of Windows OS, including Windows XP and newer.
