Description

Make every chess session count. Play at your own pace, sharpen your tactics, and build opening confidence — whether you're practicing solo or sitting down with a friend.

  • Challenge an AI opponent and choose a difficulty that suits you.
  • Solve chess puzzles to put your tactics to work.
  • Learn and practice openings, variations, and move sequences.
  • Play local multiplayer with friends over Wi-Fi, LAN, or Bluetooth.
  • Enjoy a clean, open-source chess app with a dark theme and support for six languages.

Choose a mode and start playing: practice against the AI, work through puzzles, study opening lines, or connect with a nearby player on your local network. Matewave is made for beginners learning the game and experienced players who want focused practice without online matchmaking.

Download Matewave and make your next move.
