Hard Chess Game

On Hard the computer stops giving things away. It never plays a deliberate blunder, it follows opening theory and it looks many moves ahead, so a careless move will be punished.

How to play Hard Chess Game

  1. Tap a piece to see its legal moves, then tap a destination or drag the piece. White moves first.
  2. Plan around your limits. Hard allows 3 undos and 3 hints per game, so use them on real mistakes.
  3. Expect a solid opening: the computer plays well-known lines and develops quickly.
  4. Win by checkmate, or hold a draw by repetition, stalemate or the 50-move rule.

Tips and strategy

  • Always check for tactics before you move: forks, pins and pieces hanging to a capture.
  • Trade pieces when you are ahead in material. The fewer pieces on the board, the harder it is for the computer to find counterplay.
  • Learn one opening as White and one defence as Black so you are not outplayed in the first ten moves.
  • Too tough? Drop to Easy. Want the strongest setting? Go to Expert.

Hard Chess Game FAQ

What is different about the Hard level?

The computer searches much deeper than on Easy or Normal, picks nearly its best move every time and uses an opening book. It also limits you to 3 undos and 3 hints.

Can I beat the Hard computer?

Yes. It is strong but not perfect, and it still has to be outplayed. Careful tactics, safe pieces and good endgame technique will get you there.
