Knowing the Moves that Chess Pieces Can Make. Before you can play a game of chess, you need to know how to move the pieces (legally). A chess piece’s power is tied to its mobility. The more mobile a piece is, the more powerful it is: Pawns: Pawns can only move forward. On their first move, they can move one or two squares. How do you cheat in game pigeon. Posted by 1 month ago.

Chess is an ancient strategy game that has evolved over the years and gained tremendous popularity online. Therefore, it has attracted many people to practice and develop their skills on the go via mobile applications. While many apps are available, it can be challenging to find the one that gives you the right balance of features and experience. Fortunately, we’re here to help you out, like a knight in shining armor (pun intended).
We tested out over ten of the most popular iOS chess apps to see which ones truly deliver what they promise. Whether you’re a beginner or expert at this board game, keep reading to discover the best chess apps for iPhone and iPad.
Our Criteria for Selecting the Best Chess Apps for iOS
An app is best reviewed through extensive usage and testing. And that’s precisely what we did with a dozen popular chess apps designed for iPhone and iPad. We played countless matches (we’re not telling how many we won :D) to get a thorough understanding of each application.
Here’s what we based our decisions on:
- User Interface
- Game Modes and Options
- The Overall Experience
Several apps have features that let you learn and build your skillset, making Chess more than just a game. Developers certainly gain brownie points when they create something that’s both educational and entertaining at once!
Well, we’ve made all the right moves to filter it down to five that are worth your while if you’re serious about learning, playing, or improving your game.
Best Apps to Learn and Practice Chess on iPhone & iPad
1. Chess Play and Learn
Let’s start with the app that stands out as the top chess game on iPhone and iPad. It boasts a clean and intuitive user interface along with a range of options for chess lovers of skill level. When you open the chess app, there are seven options available, namely:
- Play Computer
- Play Online
- Puzzles
- Vision Trainer
- Video
- Daily Puzzle
- Articles
Once you get into any one of these sections, there is an extended menu with more options. For instance, you can access forums to discuss everything about Chess, from game analysis to tips for beginners and beyond. It’s a great space to deepen your knowledge and sharpen your skills.
Whether you play against the computer or online, there is a play-by-play review of your games, which critiques your moves and tells you what you could have done better. This helps you gain an understanding of technique and strategy.
I particularly found the solo Chess mode interesting. It gives you a series of tasks to capture a piece with every move until one remains on the board. It starts with just two pieces on the board and then gets steadily tricky until ten pieces are on the board. This both challenges and trains your mind to come up with winning strategies.
Further, you can even customize the theme to match your color and style preferences. Plus, there are tons of articles and news to keep you updated with what’s happening in the world of Chess.
However, do note that you need to create an account to use this app’s full functionality, such as the Puzzles feature, which gives you over 65,000 Chess-board problems to have a crack at. Overall, it’s an incredibly detail-oriented app that will offer a rewarding Chess experience for newbies and pros alike. It’s also available on Apple Watch.
Price: Free (Gold Membership starts at $4.99)
2. Learn Chess with Dr. Wolf
Here’s an app for anyone who wants to learn the game of Chess from scratch or improve their game to the next level. It’s got an interactive chatbot-style interface that makes you feel like you’re taking private coaching lessons. The first three coaching sessions are free, after which you can opt to subscribe.
With each move you make, Dr. Wolf explains what he is doing, and it’s designed to make you improve your game. There are also twenty-five in-depth lessons that explain various chess concepts and offer ample opportunities for guided practice.
What I especially loved is how Dr. Wolf sounds friendly, inspiring, gentle, and sometimes witty too! It creates an engaging gameplay experience that keeps you returning for more. He gradually introduces new concepts, and you earn points when you use a new skill in-game.
Further, you can even opt for specific lessons on various aspects of Chess such as what to do in the opening, how to attack with different power pieces, how to defend hanging pieces, etc.
It also keeps track of your stats and achievements to gain insights into how you’re progressing over time. It’s one of the best chess apps to advance your skills and learn the nitty-gritty of the game.
Price: Free (Monthly Coaching starts at $4.99)
3. Chess Universe Play and Learn
The cute and colorful theme of this iOS chess game makes it stand apart from the rest. You can play free online games with live players, undertake chess quests, unlock cute characters, emojis, chess boards, and sets.
Challenge yourself against seven AI levels, solve puzzles, and learn about the winning moves from some legendary players like Bobby Fischer & Garry Kasparov. There’s also an in-game chat feature to connect with opponents and add a fun element to the gameplay.
For practice, you can choose to play versus the AI or play versus a friend. And when you’re ready, you can go for the more challenging games with timers of 30 seconds, 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10, or 15 minutes per move.
Besides, there’s a match history section that enables you to revisit any online match you just played. And you can know about your past mistakes with the easy to use analysis feature.
One of the coolest aspects of the interface is that you can have fun customizing your look with unique avatars. However, one drawback is the frequency of the ads that appear in this app. But rewards and bonus points still make it tolerable and worth checking out!
Price: Free (In-app purchases)
4. Real Chess 3D
This one’s in horizontal mode. On the opening screen, you have the option to begin a new game or to customize the look of it according to your preferences. You can choose from a few different options for the board, the pieces, the borders, and the table.
You can play against the computer or another player on the same device. In the two-player mode, the perspective changes after each move so that you and your partner can play your moves. Further, it saves your progress so you can continue a game from where you left it.
Its distinguishing feature is the 3D view, which is hard to come by in other apps. You can use your fingers to move and rotate the board for custom views. This gives it a more realistic feel and is especially suited to play on a larger screen like an iPad.
The best part is the soothing music, which promotes concentration and compliments the polished user interface.
Price: Free ($3.99 to remove ads)
5. Chess
If you’re looking for a no-frills straightforward chess app, here’s an excellent option for you. It’s got a pleasing brown wood-like color scheme and intuitive options. When you open this app, you’ll have the option to choose between one player or two-player modes, then select a difficulty level, and get started.
The game has a real feel and sound to it. So, you can feel each piece as you move it, almost like it has a marble feel with a felt bottom. It’s straightforward to play and convenient on a mobile device. There’s also an option to undo moves.
Although it’s pretty basic and simplistic, it gets the job done. It automatically saves your progress so you can get back to a game where you left it. The graphics and sound effects are on-point, and you have the option to configure player names and track scores.
There are not many features to try out, but if your goal is to play Chess, this is perfect. However, there is no way to change the default brown and beige color scheme, and at times, ads detract from the experience. But do bear in mind that it’s completely free to use, which makes it worth it.
Price: Free

Earn or get some money:
Check litter: At each place, check the litter around - click on them. Some trash might be hiding money like the Euros hidden on the litter in front of the Casa dei Giochi at Campo Santa Margherita or at Campo Santa Maria Formosa. You might even get the Euro Trash Star at the end of the game.
Sell flowers: (This is an optional way to get money. If you can find enough coins through other means and not want to earn it this way, no problem.) Go back to Ca' Nascosta and up to the balcony.
Turn around and look at the flower with the bees. Use the bug sprayer on the flowers.
Automatically ask Margherita about the flowers. They are from Hilihili Research Facility in Hawaii. Sounds familiar?
If you played The Crystal Skull, you know what to do. Click the bug sprayer on the bees until they all fall on the floor. Be sure to hit the vicious red ones first.
Take the flowers and bring them to the florist at Rialto Market.
Place the flowers on the empty flower vase above the sign. Get 30 Euros for them.

Scopa: There are 4 suits: coins, cups, swords and clubs. There are 10 cards in each suit with the 7 as the valuable card.
The face cards are the Valet, Knight and King. The value of each card is seen on the card.
The most valuable are the 7s, then 6s, aces, 5 4 3 2 and then the face cards.
3 cards are dealt to the players and 4 are face card at the center.
Each player play only 1 card from his own.
A match of one of your card is the sum of any card on the face cards at the center.
If you take the last card in the play area - you do Scopa. 11 or more points win the game.
Play the game and win to talk to Tazza. Have fun.
Tazza wants Samantha Quick to steal the Sadal Melik sapphire from Palazzo Zattere. It is protected by a very sophisticated system. Gina can help with the security system.
Steal the Sadal Melick sapphire:
Ca' Nascosta: Go back to the bedroom and change out of this outfit. Helena and Colin do not notice this going in-out with different outfits?
Report to Sophia via the PDA. Sophia likes the idea of stealing the sapphire in order to get in good graces of Tazza. Oh No. No police help. Sophia will make sure that the real Samantha will be delayed.
Contact Gina (Gina who?): Go back to Fango's office at Campo del Frari. By this time, you are already an expert lock picker.
Go to the computer. Oh No, the alarm of the PDA goes off, Fango is here. Immediately hide at the cabinet with the poster.
After he leaves, go back out and look at the middle file cabinet. Check the Scopa cards, another one is missing - the Valet of clubs.
Go back to the laptop and use Il Capitano as password. Check the chess game. See that Gina is the chessboard server. Scaramuccia wants a game.
Exit back to the main menu and check the trash again. Read the chess log Dec29.
Play coded chess: Learn that Scaramuccia likes to use the algebraic style of chess notation.
The main question to be presented to Scaramuccia is Palazzo Zattere.
Review the Chess book bought at the kiosk. Study the graph of columns and rows of letters-numbers that can be used as codes. Zattere is coded this way; Z = KB1, A = KA4, T = KD2, T = KD2, E = KE4, R = KB2, E = KE4.
Click on the chess piece icon and play with Scaramuccia.
Using the chess notation codes, type in using your keyboard as answers to Scaramuccia postings: KB1, KA4, KD2, KD2, KE4, KB2, KE4. Press enter after each answer.
Scaramuccia posts to go to the recycling bin at the Rialto Market tomorrow morning. Ciao!
Note: Since you have to wait for tomorrow to continue and if you have enough money left, picked up or earned; go shopping or eat gelato or ride the gondola.
Ca' Nascosta: Go back to the bedroom and go to sleep.
Il Fantasma-The Phantom: Nancy is woken up by the Phantom. He took Ned's gift, the locket from her neck. Helena comes out of the bathroom and screams. The Phantom escapes through the balcony. The newspaper reports the theft of the Etruscan bronze on Colin's work table and the necklace.
Mrs. Rutherford calls and gave her one - no, half a cent in.
Try to go to the Grand room and is stopped by an argument between Helena and Colin; each blaming each other for leaving the door open.
Margherita and Fango? The PDA alert sounded. Go to the balcony and use the binoculars on Fango's office. See Margherita arguing with Fango and waving a piece of paper. She leaves in a huff. What is she doing there?
While she's gone, read the letter on the table. Use the Italian dictionary.
Chinese puzzle box: Talk to Colin about the puzzle box.
Collect items left by Scaramuccia:
Go to Rialto market. Use the Italian dictionary on the label of the blue stand.
Take the bottle inside the recycler. Open the base of the bottle.
Take the card with the word Hi and the keycard with electronic gadget. The bottle goes in the recycler.
Read the Hi card: Go back to the Ca'.
Look close at the microscope. Click the Hi card on the microscope. As soon as you look through the scope, the bulb burns out.
Colin got a bit hasty there. While he's looking for another bulb, he asks that you do some mosaic work.
Mosaic tiles: Click to look close at a photograph.
Add tiles taken from top to the empty areas of the mosaic. Use the picture as reference.
I usually do the least number of tile colors first. Be careful of the slight change in shadings.
If you do this without any mistake, a Star at the end of the game might be waiting.
Click the cover to see the finished mosaic. Colin comes back and has installed the new microscope bulb.
Look close at the microscope. Click the Hi card on the microscope.
Read the microdot: Vlad is in Gstaad fro the next month so he won't show up. The Sapphire is housed in the warehouse below the Palazzo - the entrance is the barred doors in the alleyway. You'll need an anti-thermal suit for this job. If you've lost yours, Fausto at Club Micio in Campo San Polo is the only one who has any left. Be forewarned, he's gone straight and isn't dealing in this business any longer so you'll need to date one of the dancers since Fausto uses the old fabric for his dancers' costumes. But I doubt that'll be any problem for you. Use the attached lock override to break the combinations for the entry to the warehouse and the sapphire container. The lock override will show you the order in which to push them in the following sequence: (see picture). The warehouse is monitored by robotic sentries. There are four power circuits you'll need to find and overload to temporarily shut the power off that feeds the alarm system protecting the sapphire. The sapphire is in the center warehouse.
One Easter egg: Pick the lock of the locked room left of Colin. *Chicken cackle*. Get an Easter egg.
Get an anti-thermal costume: Go to Club Micio in Campo San Polo. Enter the Club.
Dance Audition: Hear that there is a dance audition today. If you finish this puzzle, you can earn money later by dancing for tips if you want.
Read the dance instructions. Take note that each dance has a sound and a color cue.
For the sound, press the sound icon to hear a sample of the cue.
Click on the cat suit hanging on the wall and be on stage to audition.
There are circles on top of the screen that are colored coded and have the sound icon like (l-r):
Yellow = bell, teal - claps, orange = ocarina, blue = whistle, green = buzzer and red = siren.
At the top of the circle is a bar. This shows the progress of the audition. The audition is successfully done when the bar reaches the right.
The color cues are seen in various areas of the stage: the light bulbs and fluorescent bars on the sides of the stage and the lights on the base of the stage. Good luck and happy dancing!

Someone is out to get Nancy: Go back to the Ca'. Outside the Ca' see some leaves falling from above. Look up and see a vase about to hit you - back up immediately.
Go to the balcony and check to see who is up there. Take the Scopa card - Valet of clubs from the edge of the balcony. Uh Oh! This is the one missing from Fango's cabinet.
Change into the anti-thermal suit. Open the wardrobe and change into: black gloves, black mask, cat's ears, black top, black pants and black boots.
(This can happen earlier in this day). Try to leave the room. The phone rings. Answer the phone and talk to Samantha Quick. She knows all about Nancy. Who is she?
Try to leave the room again. Get another phone call. It is Margherita. She will be gone and won't be back til tomorrow.
Palazzo Zaterre: Go to Palazzo Zaterre.
Gate to the warehouse: Go to the grilled gate at right.
Look close at the lock. Insert the keycard with electronic gadget.
Using the code from the microdot press the correct sequence in the keypad. The door opens.
Warehouse: Enter and see the topmost warehouse room. I used the keypad arrows here instead of the mouse.
Be careful and avoid the robots. Hide in corners or just move away. Plan your path ahead of time.
There are 9 rooms in the warehouse; 3 rooms in 3 rows.
The corner rooms have the power circuit panels. Go to each corner room and overload the power marked by red electric symbols inside a circle.
This will deactivate the 4 lasers guarding the sapphire that is located at the center room.
Power circuit at the 4 corner rooms: See 8 rods with a lever at the bottom under each rod.
The aim is to lower the shutters to cover the rods. This will overload the circuit.
Find the first rod that can be shut down. Then find the second by pressing the first rod lever followed by another unknown rod. Then redo the sequence again to find the third and then the fourth and so on... until all 8 are covered and the power is overloaded.
Do this to all 4 corner power circuits.
After overloading the 4 power circuits, go to the center room and take the sapphire. Exit the warehouse.
Go back to the Ca'. Change outfit to the Samantha Quick costume: blonde wig, black sunglasses, white gloves, red dress and black shoes.
Enrico Tazza: Go to Casa dei Giochi at Campo Santa Margherita. Knock on the door.
Talk to Enrico Tazza. Hear about Nico, the Chinese Puzzle box and shaking the box. He wants Samantha to beat him in Scopa before she gets paid.
Play Scopa.
He will send the payment to a Swiss bank account.
Chinese Box Puzzle: Go back to the Ca'.
Enter the bedroom and change outfit to daily wear.
Check the note on the pillow of Nancy's bed. It's a parting letter from Colin-Justin. Look at the handwriting of this letter and the note that came with the spoiled sausages. Aha! Why?
Exit the room and look at the Chinese Puzzle box on Colin's work table.
Nancy shakes the box as overheard from the phone call of Tazza.
It opens and Chinese characters are seen.
If you haven't yet, go buy the book 'An Introduction to Chinese Symbols' from the kiosk at Piazza San Marco.
Go back to the Chinese Box at the Ca'.
Translate the Chinese characters. Let's try the 4 elements: Press wood, mountain, fire and water. Aha.
Take the Scopa card code for the Communication points.
Check Fango's office again:
Time to sleep. Go to the bedroom and lay me down to sleep.
Wake up and the alert on the PDA goes off. Go to the balcony and use the binoculars. Too late.
Margherita's business with Fango: Talk to Margherita.
She found a flyer in a trash here in the Ca' about wireless network. See numbers at the back of the flyer = 111#046.
Talk to Helena about Colin.
Fango's office: Go to Fango's office at Campo del Frari.
Pick the lock of the door and then enter.
Music box: Check and note down the notes of the music played by the horse music box.
Fax machine: Enter the number see at the back of the wireless flyer = 111#046.
It printed out a set of dots with notes. Ah, they look like the phone number pad.
Click the number pad code on the Fax dial.
Using the printed number pad code as reference, enter the notes of the music box: mi, re, do, si, la, re, re, do, la, fi, sol, do, mi, do, do, sol, sol, mi, fa, re, re, re, la, si, re, do on the number pad.

Call Sophia. I am ready.
Stakeout: Get instruction. Click on the place where Nico is located, not where the agents are staked out.
Click on Nico three times correctly and he will be apprehended.
Sophia reports: Nico is arrested but does not admit anything. Sophia looks at the propane gas receipt Nico carried. It has 3447 written on the back.
Find the secure and safe place:
Propane gas container: Go to Campo Santa Margherita and then to the alley at left.
Look close at the lock. Enter 3447 and open the propane storage container.
Take the key and the water well map (not found in senior mode).
Safe place: Go to Campo Santa Maria Formosa. Look close at the right side of the wall fountain.
If you do not see the fountain or door with the lock right of the fountain, it is because you have not checked all the extensions in the fax machine at Fango's office.
Use the key from the propane storage bin on the padlock.
Explore the water well maze:
Enter and turn right. Study the map seen on the wall. Compare that to the water well map taken from the propane bin.
So we are in #1 circle right now. Ultimately we want to go to 10 and across that to the other ladder.
To do so, we need water to get a bridge up at top of diamond well. We do this by draining the other 2 wells.
1. From the map pull back and turn right around the corner.
Turn around and see the circle water well. We want to go across based on the map.
Go forward and see that the water is down. Turn left and fill this circle well by turning the wheel counterclockwise.
Now cross the bridge.
2. Now we're in #2 in the map. Turn to the right just after crossing the floating bridge.
We want to go to point 3. Drain the circle well by turning the wheel clockwise.
Game Pigeon Tanks Cheat
Turn left and go down the ladder one level down.
Turn around and cross the bridge.
3. We are now in point 3. Time to empty this circle well.
Turn to the right and turn the wheel clockwise to drain circle well.
4. Turn left and go down the ramp to see triangle well. Cross the bridge.
Game Pigeon Chess Cheats Age Of Empires 2
We are now point 4 at the map. Immediately turn to the right.
Turn the wheel to drain the triangle well in preparation for #8.
5. Go up the ramp to see a drained diamond well.
Turn left and fill the triangle well so we can go across.
6. Cross the bridge and be at point 6.
Turn right and drain the triangle well.
Go to the ladder and go down to the next level.
7. Cross the bridge. We are now at point 7 of the diamond well.
Turn right and drain the diamond well.
8. Go down the ramp to point 8 and see the floating bridge. Do not cross.
Turn left and drain triangle well.
9. Go back up the ramp to diamond well.
See that there is a floating bridge here caused by draining the other well.
Cross the bridge and go up the ladder to point 9.
Turn around and forward.
Turn left and let us fill diamond well.
Go back to the ladder and climb up.
10. We are now in point 10.
Turn around and forward to the wheel.
Turn left and fill diamond well so we can get to the ultimate ladder.
Ladder: Cross the bridge and see the passage on the left.
Go forward, left and climb the ladder.
Safe place (at last in more ways than one):
Light: Turn around from the ladder. We need light.
Look close at that faint yellow thing at left. Take the flashlight.
Take the flashlight from the stand. Pull back. Take the flashlight from inventory and click it forward until the metal door.
The loot: See a keypad. Use the numbers taken from the microdot of the pigeon message Hello!
Press 4 3 5 5 6.
Enter through the metal door. See a crate. Check the crate and see that it is mailed to one seen at the postcard and mailed dropped after a smashing encounter your first day here.
Check what is inside and see Carnevale mask. Open one and see the loot.
This is where the adventure began: the door is closed, water starts flowing.
Save yourself: Go to the left and look close at the gauges.
You need to place the gauge all at the center line. Be sure that when you adjust the gauges that you do not have any reach the top or the game ends.
After studying what gauge affects others: (left to right):
Do this fast:
Click 2 down clockwise twice.
Click 1 up counterclockwise 5 times.
Click 3 down clockwise 3 times.
Click 5 up counterclockwise 4 times only.
Click 4 down clockwise twice only.
Click 5 up counterclockwise once.
Click 4 down clockwise twice. Whew!
Exit, climb rope ladder and report.
Track the villain: Nancy needs to track the villain. Check the mode of transportation and the last location she is seen.
A piedi is on foot - black lines, Vaporetto is by water boat - red lines and gondola is the blue lines.
The flashing circle is where the villain was last seen.
Listen to the explanation after catching the villain.
FINE!
