Are you interested in downloading SparkChess for PC, Mac, iOS or Android? Have you encountered any issue? Most users can download and start playing chess right away, but just in case you’re having some problems, check this section.

How can I upgrade to the latest version?

If you own an older downloadable version, you can upgrade using this upgrade form.

Please consider a subscription instead, so you can play on any device and stop worrying about upgrades.

I downloaded the game but I can’t find it. Do I need to buy it again?

On Mac OS, SparkChess is distributed as a simple zip, without any DMG/PKG installer. Check your Downloads folder or use Spotlight (CMD+Space) to search for “sparkchess”. After you find it, consider dragging it to Desktop or to the Applications folder.

On Windows, check your Downloads folder and use Windows Search (press WIN+S) to search for “sparkchess”.

If you still  can’t find it or in the event you lost all the information on your computer, you can download SparkChess again. You’ll need your Transaction ID and email address (or at least the email address you used for purchase to recover the Transaction ID).

We recommend SparkChess Premium Live instead, which doesn’t require you to install anything.
