You can transfer the games to your Windows PC using our free PGN tool and load external games.
Opening training and Chess960
Two large opening libraries and seven special training libraries enable top-class opening training. In addition, the chess computer supports the popular variant Chess960 (Fischer Random Chess) according to the official FIDE rules, which provides even more variety.
Interactive 2-player mode
In 2-player mode, the computer display acts as a chess clock, while the computer acts as an arbiter. After the game, you can analyze your game together with the computer and gain valuable insights.
