Application Description

Forward Chess is like having a chess book, a board, and a powerful analysis tool all in the palm of your hand!

Forward Chess is an interactive chess book reader that transforms the way you study chess. Read through books, play through the variations included, and even test your own ideas. At any point, you can activate the built-in Stockfish engine—one of the strongest chess engines in the world—to evaluate both the author’s moves and your own lines. With Forward Chess, it's as if you have a personal chess coach guiding you through every position.

One standout feature of Forward Chess is its intuitive, user-friendly design. The app includes easy-to-access “Previous” and “Next” buttons for smooth navigation through moves. A one-touch snap-to-position function lets you tap a move in the notation and instantly jump to that position on the board. Diagrams are resizable, making them easier to read and less straining on the eyes during long study sessions.

For broader navigation, Forward Chess offers seamless chapter scrolling, direct jumping to specific chapters, and effortless movement through complex variation trees—perfect for deep theoretical studies.

The latest version also supports note-taking: create, edit, or delete notes directly within the app. Additionally, users can set multiple bookmarks per book, making it simple to return to key positions or sections for review.

Forward Chess features titles from top-tier publishers including Quality Chess, Chess Stars, Russell Enterprises, Chess Informant, New In Chess, and Mongoose Press. Explore dozens of recent publications available for purchase in the Forward Chess bookstore, or download one of several free sample books to take the app for a quick test drive.

With Forward Chess, elevate your chess training to a whole new level of interactivity and depth.
