BoardWithin

See the board. Hold the position. Think ahead.

BoardWithin helps you practice chess visualization, from learning square coordinates to following moves with the pieces hidden.

THE COMPLETE APP
One paid download includes all training and practice modes. No in-app purchases or subscription.

TEN TRAINING LEVELS
Build an internal board map from White’s and Black’s perspectives. Practice coordinates, piece movement, square recall, piece recall, and hidden-board checkmate exercises.

MORE WAYS TO PRACTICE
• Rapid Challenge: find squares against a shrinking reaction window, with unlimited practice.
• Position Recall: study a position, then rebuild it from memory.
• Puzzles: calculate through all 100 curated Lichess positions after the pieces disappear.
• Blindfold Game: play a complete legal game with hidden pieces against an unrated practice opponent. Reveal the board when you need help.
• My Training: follow a Daily Session, revisit mistakes, build your own positions, and practice hidden calculation.

TAP OR SPEAK
Use touch controls or answer supported exercises with your voice. Voice mode supports U.S. English and requires microphone and speech-recognition permission. Voice availability depends on your device and Apple’s speech services.

Your progress and saved training stay on your device. Training access does not require an account or an internet connection. Voice services may require connectivity.

Blindfold Score and Recognition Score are training measures, not FIDE, US Chess, or playing-strength ratings. The practice opponent is not a rated chess engine.
