From the innovators and creators at Chess King, Botvinnik – Chess Champion is another fun addition to the World of Board games. Go beyond your mobile screen and play it bigger and better on your PC or Mac. An immersive experience awaits you.
This feels less like a flashy chess app and more like sitting down with a serious study partner who brought the entire Botvinnik archive. There are over a thousand of his games laid out by year, so someone can scroll through his career from the early days to the world champion years and see how his style changes. The neat part is a mode that says play as Botvinnik, where the board freezes at critical moments and asks for the move he actually found. Miss it, and the trainer explains why that idea fails, sometimes even showing the refutation so the lesson sticks. It does not just toss tactics either. There are chapters on openings, attacking plans, defense, positional ideas like blockades and exchanges, converting a material edge, and a bunch of endings. Every lesson is interactive, so the board is there to test lines instead of just reading text.
Difficulty ramps in a sensible way, from simple shots to deep forcing variations, and the app tracks an Elo style rating so progress is clear. A player can bookmark tricky exercises, switch to test mode, or even play out a position against the built in engine to see if the plan holds. It runs offline, and on a PC through BlueStacks the larger board and mouse input make long sessions easier on the eyes. It suits anyone who enjoys classic games and structured training, with a small free slice available to see if the format clicks before getting into the full course.
Get ready for a buttery smooth, high-performance gaming action only on BlueStacks.
