Welcome to RankUp Chess. A premium, 100% offline chess academy designed for kids. Free to play forever — no trial clock, no lockout, no ads. One optional payment unlocks the complete academy. And absolutely no data harvesting. Just pure chess.
Most modern kids' apps are built to drain your wallet with $50/year subscriptions while secretly harvesting your child's data in the cloud.
We built RankUp Chess to be the ultimate subscription-free alternative to legacy chess giants. Every feature is designed to help your child master the game — from absolute beginner to tournament ready — while keeping them in a completely closed, 100% offline environment. Zero stress. Total control.
Playing chess is free, forever — no trial clock, no lockout. When your child is ready for more, a single one-time payment unlocks the complete academy. No subscription, no renewal, ever.
100% offline, local-first gameplay. We have no central servers, no chat rooms, and literally cannot track your child. The safest digital environment possible.
A massive, built-in library of brain-teasing puzzles. From simple mate-in-ones to advanced middle-game strategies, your child will never run out of challenges.
Practice against an adaptive AI. Start at Level 1 (Beginner — 400 Elo) and work up to Level 10 (World Class — 3200 Elo) as your child's skills grow.
An interactive, completely distraction-free learning environment. Master piece movements, castling, and advanced tactics without needing an internet connection.
Review past games with instant replays and track concrete metrics to measure your child's improvement over time.
Total Peace of Mind.
We built RankUp Chess with a strict Parental Gate system. Kids can launch the app and jump into a game in seconds with zero friction. Meanwhile, sensitive settings, profile resets, and the premium upgrade screen are locked safely behind a parental pin.
Let them learn, play, and make mistakes — without worrying about what they might click on.
The core game is free for life — play the beginner-friendly AI levels, Pass & Play with family, take on 3 Daily Challenges every day, and learn the basics with the first curriculum chapter. Progress, achievements, settings, and parental controls are always free. No trial clock. No lockout. No ads.
One payment, one time, unlocks everything else — the full 5,000+ puzzle library, all 10 AI strength levels, the complete curriculum, and engine-powered game review. We will never charge you a recurring subscription.
Free to play forever on every platform. No credit card, no trial clock, no account required.
Prices shown exclusive of VAT. Local taxes may apply at checkout depending on your country.
No subscriptions. No data harvesting. No internet required. Just pure, premium chess education — owned by you, forever.
