ChessProgress review
A mobile chess-learning app with adaptive practice across openings, middlegames and endgames.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
ChessProgress is a mobile chess-learning app from ODEON for beginners through advanced players who want structured practice on iOS or Android. Its exercises span openings, middlegame tactics and strategy, and endgames, with adaptive puzzles tailored to a player's level. Memory Mode focuses on visualization and calculation, while Skills Mode covers mating and endgame practice. Separate ratings by theme and progress tracking give learners a way to follow development across different areas rather than relying on puzzle volume alone.
The training breadth is a notable fit for learners who want several kinds of practice in one app. Opening puzzles sit alongside middlegame exercises and endgame work, while Memory Mode and Skills Mode add distinct practice formats. Structured lessons are also part of the offering. This makes ChessProgress more than a puzzle-only option, though its emphasis remains learning and practice: it is not positioned for verified analysis of complete games. Players whose priority is reviewing their games should look for a tool focused on that instead.
The free Starter plan allows 10 puzzles per day and includes one opening, one middlegame, one endgame and one skills mode. Pro removes those limits, with unlimited puzzles, memory mode, skills practice, openings, middlegames and endgames. According to the published plans, Pro costs $7.99 per user per month on monthly billing or $5.89 per user per month billed annually. Choose ChessProgress if mobile access and varied, level-adaptive practice are central; consider another option if you need game analysis or prefer a non-mobile learning setup.
