Kids to Grandmasters Chess 1.4.1

An interactive offline chess game with various playing modes and difficulty levels is offered by this application. The app is designed to serve as an educational tool for children, aiding them in learning chess through gameplay while ensuring an enjoyable experience. Notably, the app does not feature chess lessons or theoretical instructions but emphasizes the practical aspect of learning through active play.

When a piece is selected, valid moves are highlighted in green on the board, while prohibited moves are marked in red, based on the current game mode. The visual cues provided enhance the learning experience, requiring minimal assistance initially with navigation and controls, allowing children to focus on playing and learning.

Moreover, the app supports two-player gameplay on a single device, enabling players to engage in friendly matches. Alternatively, players can challenge the open-source chess engine Bagatur, which offers increasing difficulty levels starting from level 1.

The gameplay instructions are structured to introduce beginners gradually to the nuances of chess, progressing from Freestyle mode to Pieces Aware mode and culminating in All Chess Rules mode. Different modes offer varying degrees of challenge and educational value for young learners.

The app features a specially crafted default chess piece set aimed at appealing to children visually, particularly suitable for playing in Freestyle mode. Additionally, players have the flexibility to customize settings such as piece design, move animation speed, and color scheme to suit their preferences.

Chess, known for its intellectual demands, serves as an effective tool for developing analytical skills, memory retention, strategic thinking, concentration abilities, IQ levels, pattern recognition, and more.
