Apps to improve chess with your mobile

One of the chess applications that I like the most is:

Chessbypost is a simple tool that allows you to play chess that many years ago we called postal chess, that is, chess whose times span for days and weeks. Currently, correspondence meetings are held using email. An organization responsible for organizing events of this nature, including the Olympics and the World Chess Championship (by mail, email or chess server), is the International Correspondence Chess Federation (ICCF).

But let's focus on the application: the application works very well, it is multiplatform, and it allows you to play games with your friends, with people on Facebook or games with ratings, so you can also check your progression with a simple but useful graphic. In addition, it is completely free.

My recommendation is that on vacation you play one or two games but not more simultaneously and try to deepen as much as possible in the positions. Otherwise you end up acquiring the bad habits of blitz games and play in any way at the traffic lights, while making the purchase ... Of course, if your goal is simply to have fun, there are no rules!

Playchess by Chessbase. Playchess has become a standard for years. If you want to play games of the highest level of course this is your place. You will find dozens of professional players, games with and without a rating, and a lot of experiences such as tournaments, retransmission of elite games ... If you want to play blitz and you don't like to wait. Playchess.com facilitates the rapid exchange of plays with high bandwidth servers and minimum response times. Although it must also be said that sometimes it takes a bit of dawn to find a rival.

 

It is a paid application although you can also play with a free version although with important limitations. Personally I have been subscribed for years and I am a fervent follower. In next articles I will tell you some tricks to progress with this tool. 

Ichess tactics. It is a tactical training application created by Asim Pereira, who is a prolific developer of mobile applications. If you are interested in computer science and chess, I recommend you visit their modest website, it has interesting information.

Ichesstactics is available for Android and also for Iphone. The two things that I like most about this application are that the interface is very intuitive and usable, and that it has compiled more than 1000 positions of real tournament games, so we avoid studies and laboratory positions that are not usually the most useful when we want to improve our combinatorial level. It is very functional and a good training tool, and also completely free.
