In the 21st century, new technological solutions and applications have changed several aspects of our lifestyle. One activity that was particularly affected by the arrival of the digital era was reading. The appearance of the first e-readers like Amazon Kindle has led to the appearance of digital books which has been rapidly growing ever since. Nat...
As mentioned above, Forward Chess is an interactive chess e-book reader/application. In contrast to the traditional e-book readers which are „static“, Forward Chess -apart from the book text, diagrams and annotations – also provides the user with an interactive chessboard on which the reader can play through the moves in the book, try out his own l...

Now, you might be wondering what is so unique to Forward Chess compared to the afore-mentioned Everyman Chess Viewer and Gambit Studio and other similar apps? 4 To be fair, I haven’t tried using other apps myself, but from what I’ve read, I’d say the difference is not that significant when it comes to functionality. Sure, some of the apps might mis...
Now that we have gotten acquainted with the basic features of Forward Chess, it is time to take a look at its interface. Since I mainly used the mobile app, I will mainly refer to it and post corresponding screenshots. All the features also apply to the desktop app, which also has some additional functionality (namely, the opening and reference gam...
Simple and intuitive
As I mentioned previously in this article, Forward Chess is simple and intuitive. It is easy to set it up and even people not feeling at home with technology should have no problems using it.
Stable and fast
Forward Chess is a very good app from a technical standpoint. It is quick and responsive. There is no delay or lag of any kind. I haven’t had a single instance of the app crashing – it is something that is not valued enough in the world of poorly coded applications that keep causing problems for their users.
Great selection of books
As mentioned previously in this article, arguably the biggest comparative advantage of Forward Chess compared to its competitors is its vast library, which constantly seems to be expanding.
Somewhat clumsy and tough to navigate
Even though I have said that Forward Chess is simple and intuitive, it was also somewhat inconvenient to navigate. I frequently accidentally scrolled to the next chapter or wrong part of the book, if I wanted to jump between moves in a certain variation, I’d miss them and I sometimes felt the screen was not big enough when book diagram, interactive board and engine were all turned on.
No need to set up the chessboard
Now, I know this might be inconsistent since I mentioned this as one of the advantages, but I also think there are some inherent dangers to reading chess books without the chessboard. 9I think reading digital books has a detrimental effect on our visualization. I have also heard some people complaining about how it is difficult to adjust to real boards in real-life tournaments. Finally, I think digital books make us more likely to switch off our brains and go on autopilot. Which leads me to t...
Ability to analyze positions from chess books with a chess engine
Even though it is definitely useful to have the ability to analyze a chess position with a chess engine, it is another double-edged sword. It is well known that deliberate practice is the best way of improving your chess. Few chess players have the discipline to think on their own when they can get instant answers by pushing just one button. Engines are tools that may help our thinking process. Not the substitute for our brain.
Throughout this article, we have gotten acquainted with the Forward Chess app and talked about its positive and negative aspects. In this final paragraph, I’d like to share some of my additional thoughts and talk about how this article came to be. I decided to write this post after I was contacted by the Forward Chess representative. They did provi...
