Questions from grown-ups

How strong is the computer?

It is powered by a real chess engine, tuned way down for kids on Easy and Medium, with a bigger challenge on Hard.

Is it free?

Yes. Every game is free, with no ads and nothing to buy.

Does my child need an account?

No. Kids pick a buddy and play. Everything is saved on the device. Grown-ups can turn on Family sync later to use it on other devices.
