Play in Classical Mode

You can play at any level you choose, from a rating of 800 to 3200, either with white or black, and either for fun (not counting for rating, you can take back moves), or in rated mode. Your games will automatically be saved in your games database and you will be able to analyze them in detail with the Grandmaster engine to see what mistakes have been made.

Have fun in the Random Mode

The Random Mode is exclusive to Chess King, in which you can choose what advantage you want to start the game with and the number of pieces you want to have on the board. For example suppose you want to start with an advantage of +6 (the equivalent of 6 pawns advantage), Chess King will randomly select a starting position with the characteristics you decide and then you will play that position against Rybka, or Stockfish if you have installed it, at the highest level. Anybody should win with such a crushing starting advantage, but you’ll see it’s not that easy!

Setup any position

You can set up any position you like and then analyze it or even play it.

Search in the GigaKing Database

Look out for games of your favorite players in the GigaKing database. For example a search for Magnus Carlsen will give more than 2,000 games including all the games he played in official tournaments and many of his published exhibition matches and simultaneous exhibitions.

Learn with the Puzzle Mode

You will learn with the puzzle mode, with hundreds of exercises from beginner level until Grandmaster level. Chess King 22 will congratulate you for your success and tell you where you went wrong.

Huge Opening Tree

In the Analysis pane at the beginning of the game, either while analyzing some master game or when entering your own games in your own games database, you can follow the opening tree move by move to see what moves have been played in the whole history of chess and how much success they have had. It’s now easy to study a whole opening just by browsing opening moves, selecting lines, watching games of interest, and learning the ideas behind the opening moves.

Whole Game Evaluation graph and Engine Analysis

In the Analysis Pane after the opening stage one sees the game notation and comments, the whole game evaluation graph and below the best lines calculated by the engine. In this position below black could have taken the advantage by taking the pawn on e5, giving an evaluation of -0.86 (Black would have an advantage of close to 1 pawn equivalent), and instead played a bad move a4, which gave an evaluation of +0.49, which means white is up the equivalent of 1/2 pawn. With Chess King 22 you will know the best moves in each position.
