Watch Chess

Magnus’s Take Take Take is basically doing what this app has been doing for a while, but with a big name attached to it. I’m sad to see fewer people will download this one now, because it really is wonderful. The subscription is very modestly priced and extremely worth it. This is way better than Take Take Take, which explains super simple concepts, while this app gives a game report, engine lines, and lets you toy around with the moves.

It’s always been painful on mobile to find all the games and tournaments, I tried the free version and it was promising so I upgraded to paid and don’t regret it at all. The interface is good and it does exactly what I need. Super easy to follow all the tournaments now!

Watch Chess works perfectly on my iPhone. I would also love to see the app coupled to a good chess engine to see competent responses to alternate moves from a given position. The engine would mimic expert analysis, and help me understand moves as played.
