A complete chess practice

Play. Understand. Improve.

Every part of Eloquence is designed to help you make better decisions without distracting from the game itself.

01

Classic

A game that respects the game

Play rated offline chess without hints, takebacks or live evaluation. Choose your color, time control and an opponent with a distinct strategic personality.

02

Academy

Coaching when it matters

Practice in an unranked setting with carefully timed feedback. Choose a concise signal, a helpful nudge or a fuller explanation.

03

Review

See the turning points

Quick Review identifies the shape of your game. Deep Review adds critical moments, verified alternatives and a move-by-move quality breakdown.

Displayed opponent ratings and the in-app Classic Rating are Eloquence values for orientation. They are not FIDE ratings and should not be understood as human-rating calibration.

Private by design

Deep analysis.
No data trail.

The Arasan chess engine evaluates positions locally. When supported, Apple’s on-device language model may phrase coaching from verified chess facts. Core play and deterministic explanations remain available offline.

No account

No tracking

No advertising or analytics SDK follows how you use the app.

On-device

Games, reviews, saved mistakes and preferences stay locally on your device.
