Choose between single or multiplayer modes.Put your opponent’s king in checkmate before they do the same to you. You wouldn't own what you buy there anyway, just a license to use it as long as they see fit.Play this simplified version of the classic board game against a computer or a friend. Steam is absolutely the last place you should look.Īnd if you hate subscription, why subject yourself to their DRM scheme. It's not the greatest of companies, it's not the greatest of products, but chess is small and it's the defacto standard for now. IF you are approaching expert level and want to do targeted preparation and invest a lot of time in chess, you can consider buying a version of chessbase and a copy of the megadatabase (without subscription you get updates for 1 year I think). IF you want to make a one time investment consider buying a book (physical or ebook) or a payed for video lesson that is downloadable on your favourite opening or regarding avdanced exercises. Video lessons are many to be had on youtube, ad supported, between dozens of creators at this point (Saint Louis Chess Club, Chess Dojo, Daniel Naroditsky to name a few). Things offers for subscription: Graphically well done server side analysis ( lichess offers this for free even if in eventually limited quantity, I think 200 games a week), and access to their lesson and video library. Lichess has unlimited free puzzles and a lot of basic training excerises. You don't have to pay for chess, if you want to start out learning and have a computer.
