Chess Mini is a simple but interesting chess playing app. It uses the worlds smallest chess engine - Micro-Max, coded in less than 2000 characters and 133 lines of source code. The entire source code can be printed on a single A4 paper and has less words than a high-school assignment.

Despite its smallest size, Chess Mini has a solid understanding of chess and a very broad opening repertoire. It loves to play irregular openings and you will always be surprised in the first few moves of the game. It is also able to play chess variants such as Fischer-Random and Upside-Down.

The engine has a rating of Elo 2000 on the Computer Chess Rating Lists and is stronger than 70% of the human chess players.

Are you one of the 30%? Can you beat the smallest engine? Download and challenge yourself against the smallest.

Nice and (not always) easy

Macht sehr viel Spaß. Die Engine spielt einen flotten und aktiven Kaffehaus-Stil und eröffnet damit dem Schachamateur (im Gegensatz zu anderen Programmen) Gewinnchancen. Dennoch produziert sie keine simplen Einsteller, sondern fordert schon ein wenig Technik und Kombinationsgabe vom menschlichen Partner. Ideal für eine kurze interessante Partie zwischendurch.

Super Schach App

Super Grafik und geniales Micro Max

Impressive but...

Has anyone else noticed that the board is sideways? Im no grand master but isnt the H1 square supposed to be white? Otherwise, this is a very impressive chess app considering its very tiny size.

Amazing

Quick, reliable and strong engine

Great

Thanks
