Lazy Chess is a free, non-profit game created for casual players and enthusiasts alike, where players, at worst, make the second best move available to them. On average, there are more than 30 legal chess moves available to a player in a turn, creating vigintillions of possibilities throughout a game. Lazy Chess compresses that by having you choose only two in a given turn selected by Stockfish, the most robust chess engine in the world. The catch? You won’t know which move is the best! Learn and have fun while you compete against a highly skilled AI or online friends and random opponents. Unlock new themes and settings that can change how many options you choose from or the difficulty of the AI. Hone your chess skills while you move up in the leaderboards and play unique scenarios of famous board states provided from some of the world's most active grandmasters. Lazy Chess is open source and available on GitHub. It was developed by Cinq-Mars Media, an educational non-profit with projects and games featured at E3, PAX and festivals worldwide.
I’m like a 600 on chess.com and even I’m smarter
This games engine is awful even a beginner I can see how many opportunity’s the engine just ignores the moves provided are almost always no where near the bets moves you could make just in my latest game along rather than have my king take a rook saving my rook the engine decided to make my king runaway resulting in the loss of my rook extending the time the game took
Location why…?
Never really played chess before, but this game is pretty fun. It’s satisfying as a time-waster but I don’t really care about getting better at chess. Two stars off for sketchy ads and data policy. Why does a chess game app need my location? Trying to clear data harvesting (spyware) games off my phone, so now deleted.
Online
I need more players online.
garbage
ok
Good concept but missed the mark
Constantly while trying to play, it’ll bring up its own download page for no reason. Also all the features that are interesting are hidden behind “stars” aka premium currency. I don’t mind apps wanting money to be ad free, but asking me to watch 15 videos to unlock each individual feature is insane.
Lazy Chess
I really enjoyed Lazy Chess, as I am a relative novice at the game end enjoy having an unobtrusive ‘tutor’ to help improve my game. I could probably go to individual web sites to garner the information that Lazy Chess provides, but it does provide that ‘lazy’ help that makes it so convenient. I also like the idea of levels and modes to both provide additional challenges and give me a way of gauging my progress in improving my game.
Great game to improve your chess skills!
This game is great for all levels off chess players. I hadn’t played chess in years but this game allowed me to ease in and relearn the basic of the game before moving on to harder levels and increasing the difficulty. It is a lot of fun and a great way to get better at the game of chess!
Several bug fixes and stability improvements. Fixed an issue where the new openings engine interfered with online gameplay for some users.
