On what platform do you intend to play chess?
If you've ever played chess against the computer, you know how frustrating it can be. For beginners, it's a sure way to give up.
Not so with SparkChess. We've built the AI engine from the ground up, incorporating our secret sauce to give the AI personality and humanity. From the bumbling Cody to the friendly Claire to the aggressive Boris, you'll find an opponent that suits your style and is a pleasure to play with.
When I started playing SparkChess, I couldn't beat Cody. Now I'm winning against Claire and I'm the best in my class at chess!

I learn how to attack more, especially from Claire and Boris. They thought me to be aggressive and never be scared. Thank you for inspiring me to be interested in playing chess.

I'm almost 82 and have played chess since I was 12. Of all the sites, I prefer SparkChess, and Claire in particular. I find that level more human-like than most.

SparkChess has changed part of my life in a few ways. One major way is that it has brought my husband and I together to play a game online that requires thought and a fun competition. It has also helped me practice critical thinking skills and keep my mind sharp so that I can better teach my children these skills as well.

I was introduced for the first time to chess through my eighth grade socials teacher, I am now in grade ten, and I have been having a marvellous time.

This innovative mode explains in simple terms why your move was good or bad. Also, visual aids highlight pieces in danger or attack opportunities.
Arrange the pieces on the board as you would on a real one. Copy the position in the FEN format.
If you're stuck, just ask the computer to suggest a move and learn the most important chess openings (over 100 variations!) with Openings Explorer.
Replay, import, export or take a snapshot of your games with intuitive controls. And we've got for you a hundred lessons, puzzles, and historical games.
I'm completely addicted to SparkChess! I've tested so many chess games over the last few months, and this one nails them all!

I am an avid user of your SparkChess and feel it is the best chess on the Internet!

I bought my subscription to help my son learn to play (he is 6 years old) but I am also enjoying playing myself.

SparkChess is a superbly presented and polished program. I have many of the commercial and free chess programs for windows and also for android/apple devices, and SparkChess is my new 'go to' favourite for a quick casual and fun game of chess. I think you have achieved your aim of making chess fun for a wide audience.

Your chess board and pieces are the best by far (compared to any other program, including Fritz 12). Really amazing.
