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.
