Description

Forward Chess is an interactive chess book reader. Read the book, play through book lines, AND try your OWN lines. The embedded Stockfish engine, one of the strongest chess playing engines on the planet, can be invoked at any time to provide an evaluation of the book’s moves or an evaluation of your own variations. Forward Chess is like having a book, a chessboard, and a powerful analysis tool together right in the palm of your hand!

One of the best things about Forward Chess is its ergonomic design. Forward Chess engineers designed easy-to-reach “Previous” and “Next” buttons that allow the user to quickly scroll through moves, and a one-touch snap-to-position feature that allows the user to touch a move and snap to a position. The resizable diagrams are easy on the eyes.

For large-scale navigation, Forward Chess allows the user to jump directly to specific chapters, scroll seamlessly through single chapters, and navigate long trees of variations with ease.

Forward Chess now supports note taking: creation, editing, and deletion. The app also supports multiple bookmarks per book.

Forward Chess currently features books published by the following fine chess publishers: Quality Chess, Chess Stars, Russell Enterprises, Chess Informant, New In Chess, and Mongoose Press.

Dozens of recent titles from these publishers are available inside the Forward Chess bookstore for purchase. A number of free sample books are also available for an immediate “test drive.”

Forward Chess promises to propel your chess training forward to the next level!

4 ★ Great!

2 ★ The books on this app are great! I haven't purchased any because the user interface, and the design of the app, are not as polished as I would like. I downloaded a few book samples and i found a few bugs and glitches. I'll wait some time before purchasing books on this app. It's definitely promising!

4 ★ App needs a dark mode like the website for ease on the eyes. Great app otherwise.

5 ★ Extremely good for studying, I love it for reading as well. I don't have to worry about getting distracted by setting the board up, picking up the book and making moves. it's more fluent. Amazing and my favorite app.

5 ★ I dont have a book
