Mansuba
From your first move to chess mastery — one level at a time.
Mansuba (منصوبة) is named after the classical Arabic chess study — the positions medieval masters used to teach the game. The app is that idea reborn: a guided road of lessons, drills, and ranked games that takes you from the empty board to genuine playing strength. Free to play, no account required.
Why Mansuba
Chess apps let you play. Mansuba makes you better.
Most chess apps drop you into games and leave improvement to chance. Mansuba is built the other way around: a curriculum first, with every concept — from how the rook moves to Philidor's smothered mate — taught, drilled on a real board, and then tested against an AI opponent before you move on.
The chess content is engineered, not copy-pasted: every drill position and solution line in the app is validated by a chess engine at build time, and the tactics come from real games — the messy kind you will actually face.
Capabilities
Everything a rising player needs.
A Guided Curriculum
Seven stages, thirty levels: foundations, the art of checkmate, tactics, openings, strategy, and endgames. Each level teaches one idea, then makes you prove it on the board before the next unlocks.
Hand-Verified Puzzles
62 puzzles — classic patterns plus positions adapted from real amateur games. Every position and solution line is machine-validated against a chess engine before it ships.
Five AI Opponents
From Rookie (500) to Master (1600). Each personality plays with human-like variety — the same level never plays the same game twice, but always at its true strength.
Real ELO Ranking
Games and puzzles move your rating on the ladder real chess uses: Pawn to Grandmaster. Finish the path and beat the Master AI to earn the Digital Master title.
A Board Worth Looking At
3D-rendered piece sets — classic, glass, metal, jade, wood — on selectable board themes, with smooth animations, sound, and haptics. Chess that feels like a real set.
Private by Design
No account, no sign-up, no tracking. All progress lives on your device. Optional anonymous game sharing helps improve the AI — just the moves, never your identity.
Transparency
Nothing to hide. Literally.
Mansuba collects no personal data — no accounts, no tracking, no ads. Read exactly how it works:
