The Experience

Every position from a real game.
Every puzzle from chess history.

Board & Book isn't another chess app. It's a curated collection - where every position you study was played by a real grandmaster in a real tournament. No anonymous games. Just the most beautiful, instructive moments in chess history, presented with the care they deserve.

Train

Solve puzzles drawn from historic games. They are organized by theme, difficulty, and era to offer the user an exploratory learning session that will not only improve their skills, but teach them the history of this elegant game. Additionally, play the daily puzzles to sharpen your skills.

Chess is not merely a game. It is a living history — every move a chapter, every game a story worth preserving.
