e+Chess is an interactive chess e-book app from e+Books. Rather than a traditional live or recorded course, it is positioned as a learning tool that combines chess book content with an interactive board. According to the description, it supports iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. After downloading e+Chess from the Apple iTunes store, users receive a free classic beginner chess book, Chess Fundamentals by Capablanca.
In terms of learning scope, e+Chess focuses on reading chess books, replaying games, and understanding moves. Its main selling point is the “fully interactive book and board” experience: when users tap a game, move, or diagram in the book, the content is shown on the board; when replaying a game on the board, the corresponding section in the book is highlighted. This design is helpful for studying classic games, understanding variations, and following chess notation.
As for the teaching format, the text does not mention live classes, recorded videos, or 1-on-1 coaching. It is closer to an enhanced e-book/app. No information is provided about certification or certificates, and the teaching language is not specified.
The app itself is free and includes one free chess book, which lowers the barrier to trying it out. However, the description does not provide pricing for additional e-books, subscription options, payment methods, refund policies, or availability in the China App Store.
Regarding instructors and content sources, the website says it regularly publishes high-quality chess e-books from strong authors and publishers, but it does not list specific author credentials or explain its editorial review process.
The main advantage is its clear interactive format, which turns static chess books into demonstrable learning material. It is well suited to bite-sized study on mobile devices, and the free sample book makes it easy for users to decide whether the format works for them.
The drawbacks are that the platform provides relatively limited information and lacks broader educational services such as a structured course path, practice feedback, level testing, community features, or teacher Q&A. Device support also appears to lean strongly toward the Apple ecosystem, with no mention of Android, web, or desktop versions.
e+Chess is suitable for chess enthusiasts who are willing to learn through books and want a linked book-and-board experience. It may also be useful for beginners who want to read classic chess books.
If users need Chinese-language structured courses, live explanations, AI training, or coach feedback, they may want to consider alternatives such as Chessable, Chess.com Lessons, Lichess Study, or Forward Chess. Access from China is not addressed in the description. Since the app depends on iTunes/App Store, users will need to verify actual availability, payment options, and regional listing status themselves.
