About Progress Chess
Progress Chess is a whole chess world on your computer, with its own clubs, tournaments, chess players and awards, where you can study chess and improve your skills, along the way making a virtual career as a chess player from a complete beginner to a master, and maybe even to the World Champion. In this game, chess players of absolutely any level will find suitable opponents.
Here you can compete with more than 80 virtual human chess players of different levels and playing styles: from a beginner who has just learned the rules to an international grandmaster with an ELO rating of over 2700. You can play training games, random games for rating, or you can take part in full-fledged tournaments held according to the round robin, Swiss, or Olympic systems and win virtual awards. Games take place in realistic virtual locations, such as a restaurant, a children's room, a school, or a chess club.
As your skill grows, you will be assigned ranks and an ELO rating. If you are just starting to learn chess, you have several training modes available: a basic course for beginners, where you will master the rules of the game and the basics of chess theory, as well as an advanced course for solving combination problems and studies.
You will find computer models of all past and current world champions plus a huge collection of their games available for study and computer analysis. You can play a game with a virtual model of the champion in the corresponding historical location, for example in the Column Hall of the House of Unions in Moscow!

Great game. I love the wait I have to do before the computer makes their move. I can think on their time and at the same time immerse myself as though I'm in a real game. Most bots online don't have delays so this is a 10/10 for me1 found this helpful
DO NOT BUY. Very poor engine. Inconsistent opponent ratings. Just a poor quality game.

Many faults but the main one is an awful chess engine, seems to have to actual levels simple/master and just flips between them no matter what the player elo is.
I believe this game is truly outstanding — it’s clear that the design team has put a lot of thought into many aspects. In the past, I mainly used GM11 and customized several engines, but having too many features often meant spending excessive time on parameter settings and opening book creation, which took away from the joy of simply playing chess. One moment that impressed me was my first game in the train scene: despite the noisy environment, I unexpectedly felt relaxed. From the engine perspective, I hope future development moves toward more human-like play. There are already plenty of “god-like” engines, but what makes the experience engaging are the occasional mistakes and the brilliant recoveries. On the graphics side, some reflections on my computer are too strong. I would like to see options for adjusting color saturation and contrast. After changing the perspective and camera angle, I also hope each scene can be saved and reset individually. In addition, I’d love to see a new gameplay feature: a scene where identical opening lines can be assigned to different characters. For example, I could set the same opening sequence but choose different characters, so the gam…
Great chess game
