Outstanding app for database management, training, analysis, building a repertoire or just having a quick game with Stockfish. Not a big learning curve, and if you’re familiar with chess database programs this should all be pretty easy to get around. Links directly to PGN Mentor & The Week In Chess for access to literally millions of games to build a database with, and you can import your own. Easy navigation of bases (player, year, event, ECO or combinations of those & other parameters) & a boat-load of various analysis & search functions including endgame tablebases. Also ability to create custom opening books for stockfish to use from databases is a big plus! If you’re serious about chess, or want an easy to use, stable program for OTB prep, this is probably all you’ll ever need. Highly recommended.

While this may not be the most attractive app (full disclosure, I’m an artist/designer and would love to redesign the icon and splash screen) what’s offered here in this app is incredible. I can load databases of my repertoire, plus add databases of my chess books to make study so much easier when traveling. This app is in so many ways what ChessBase should have offered but failed in the mobile space. It’s great that I don’t have to lug my laptop with me on vacation, I have so much of what I need for constructive study right here. At home, if I want to relax on the sofa and study, this does the job. The app has made my chess books so much more useful. Congratulations to the developer: great job. Oh, and reach out if you’d like to upgrade your visuals. ;—) Thanks!

I absolutely love Chess Studio! It has so many wonderful features and support is fast and phenomenal! Give it a thousand stars!!!

What a wonderful and useful Chess app. One of the Best IOS Chess apps on the Apple Store. If you want to learn, have fun and play chess this is the app to get. Did I say it is Cheap? Too Cheap IMO, should cost much more. Also this is NOT an forgotten app left to rot as it is constantly updated and improved.

Best chess database!

This is a powerful chess database, analysis, training, and online play tool. The developer is constantly improving it. He responded to a feature request I sent him and soon that feature was included. Buy it now!

Great app !!! Hope you can make the edit mode arrows ..SLIMMER .. and if possible add another arrow color

How to autoplay the game pgn?

Dear Dev.. Add dark mode, this copy & paste code is part of your Apple SDK that comes with your yearly payment into the program. (But you know this) Why haven’t you added? It’s a simple add on. What about 3-4 hours of your time? Everybody else.. This is real good if you want to practice what you’ve learned from your study sources. On my iPad mini 6th gen.. my triple threat, chess needs are satisfied (study, test, play) • Chessable to study and learn (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) • Chess Studio (THIS APP) try out moves w/ stockfish input • Chess.com iOS app put every thing I learned to the test vs. humans

The description says, “For serious chess players,” and another review states “If you get one chess app, make it this one.” Both are true. Other chess apps have lots of eye candy. However, when it comes to what it takes to manage your repertoire, analyze your games, and other important functions you would expect from a chess app for anyone who is half-way serious about their games, then _nothing_ on the App Store comes even close to Chess Studio: Manage your PGN databases, analyze, create opening tables, download from TWIC and PGN Mentor, … Yes, it has its interface idiosyncrasies and its own way of doing things but one will easily get used to it and understand the rationale behind its presentation. I especially like how the analysis (now using Stockfish 16) shows immediate graphic feedback with labeled arrows with different transparent colors akin to Nibbler/Lc0. This is a fantastic app for importing games played on either iPad or iPhone and analyzing them. Easily move PGN databases between iCloud, DropBox and local storage. Create opening books from your games on mobile? Unheard of, but this app does it! The more I use it, the better it feels. I cannot thank the author enough for such a useful and functional chess app!
