Best Chess Apps

Terms of Use

Effective and updated November 12, 2026

These terms are written in plain language. By using bestchessapps.com you agree to them. If you do not, please do not use the site.

Who publishes the site

Best Chess Apps is published by the team that makes ChessHelper (chesshelper.ai). ChessHelper is our own product and is one of the apps we rank, as explained on our About page.

Information only

Everything on this site is general information to help you choose a chess app. It is not professional, legal or financial advice. Our rankings are opinions based on published features and pricing, and other reasonable people may rank the same apps differently.

Prices and features change

We report prices and plans as listed by each company in November 2026. Companies change them without notice, and regional prices, taxes and promotions vary. Always check the company's own website before you buy. We are not responsible for differences between what we report and what a company charges you.

No warranty

The site is provided "as is". We work to keep it accurate but do not guarantee that every detail is complete, current or error-free. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses that arise from using the site or from relying on its content, including decisions to buy or not buy any app.

Third-party apps and links

We link to apps and websites we do not control. Their terms, privacy policies and fair-play rules apply when you use them. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the linked site. We are not affiliated with Chess.com, Lichess, Chessable, ChessKid, DecodeChess or Chess Tempo, and their names belong to their owners.

Fair-play reminder

Nothing on this site may be used as a reason to seek outside help during a game. Chess.com, Lichess, FIDE and US Chess forbid engine or other assistance during games against people, rated or unrated, and they close accounts that break the rule. Use analysis apps after the game, in analysis mode, or against bots.

Content and copying

The text of this site is ours. You may quote short passages with a link back to the page. Photos are used under the licenses listed on the credits page, and the chess piece images are used under their own license, also listed there.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version. Questions go to [email protected].
