NIA CHESS is finishing its last round of testing on real tablets with real families. It will be free to download, with a single $19.99 unlock for everything — no subscription and no trial that runs out. Leave your email and we will tell you the day it goes live.
A real app, not a countdown. Keep it free for as long as you like.
One in-app purchase turns the free app into the whole academy, for every profile on the device, with every future update included.
Bought once inside the app through Google Play or the App Store; restores on a new tablet.
That is what $19.99 works out to — except this one never renews. Pay it once and the meter stops for good.
A single hour with a chess coach usually costs more than the whole app. Ada coaches every game you ever play, on the device, for one payment.
Every profile on the device gets the full app. No family plan, no per-child pricing, no shared logins.
One email when the app is live, one when the first big update ships. Nothing else, ever, and we never pass your address on.
Or just write to hello@niachess.com.
Android 9 or newer — tested on inexpensive Amazon Fire tablets, deliberately — or iOS 15 or newer. About 160 MB. A connection is needed only to install it, and after that only if you choose to use Lichess.
Anyone from an absolute beginner who has never moved a piece, to a club player drilling endgames. The bot ladder runs 400 to 1900 Elo and the puzzles run from mate-in-one upwards.
The app is free on the store. Inside it, one in-app purchase of $19.99 unlocks everything. It is tied to your store account, so it restores on a new tablet, and it applies to every profile on the device.
Start with the beginner bots for free. One $19.99 payment brings the whole cast home — every bot, every legend, every cup, every puzzle. Hover a face to hear from them.
…plus 620,000+ puzzles, 100+ interactive lessons, 525,000+ master games, 5,000+ opening studies, four tournament cups, an endgame trainer and Coach Ada on every screen. One payment. Nothing held back.
