General Achievements
"AI-10"
Beat 10 Levels of AI
You need to beat the first ten levels of AI with a checkmate (no stalemate). Beating the same level AI multiple times does not count.


"AI-25"
Beat 25 Levels of AI
You need to beat the first twenty-five levels of AI with a checkmate (no stalemate). Beating the same level AI multiple times does not count.


"White Always Mates"
Eternal, unvarying triumph?
Play with the white pieces and win ten games, whether against real players or AI is up to you, as they both count.


"?"
How about Global Thermonuclear War?
Start a game against any level AI player. Once the game starts, press [Esc] to pause it and type


"I'm 100"
Win 100 Games
You can either do these online or against AI. You need to win 100 games (checkmate, no stalemate) in total.

Online Achievements
"Welcome to The Arena"
Win first Online Game
Grammatical error in the achievement's description aside, you only need to win one online game to unlock this achievement to unlock. You cannot unlock this versus AI. You do not need to be on the leaderboard or have any specific ELO.


"10 Down"
Finish 10 Online Games
You need to finish ten online games to unlock this achievement to unlock. You cannot unlock this versus AI. You do not need to be on the leaderboard or have any specific ELO, nor do you need to actually win the games; you simply need to finish them.


"Centurian"
Finish 100 Online Games
You need to finish one hundred online games to unlock this achievement to unlock. You cannot unlock this versus AI. You do not need to be on the leaderboard or have any specific ELO, nor do you need to actually win the games; you simply need to finish them.


"Arpad Elo"
Get a non-provisional Elo Rating (play 15 rated online games).
Play 15 rated games online to unlock this achievement. You do not have to win for those games to count.


"Dark Horse"
Are you ready for the perfect storm? Beat someone ranked 20 points above you (in a rated game when both of you exist on the leaderboard).
You'll need to be on the leaderboard prior to doing this, which means you need to have played 15 online games prior to trying to unlock this achievement. You should have unlocked "Arpad Elo" before trying this one. You can either play a online and win against a random opponent, or if you have a friend ranked 20 points or higher that is willing to throw the match for you.

Subsequently, if you have nobody and can't beat anyone online, you can go as far as making a second Steam account, playing 15 matches against yourself (make sure your throwaway account is ranked 20+ points higher by the end) and then beat that account, which will unlock this achievement. It's an insanely roundabout way of doing it, but it's possible.

Paid Achievements
"Patron of the Arts"
Financially support the development of Simply Chess.
This final achievement you'll actually have to shell out money for, which, for most of you will be rather annoying. If you're willing to support the developer, you'll have to buy their premium upgrade for $4.99 USD (or your region's equivalent). Once you purchase the upgrade, the achievement will unlock.

@shiny_fox Ditto, my IQ is fine, but I honestly think it's important to know Chess strategies, watching professionals, a so on. I'm mostly newbie.

First off, great guide!

Just a heads up: the Konami code for the "How about Global Thermonuclear War?" achievement is slightly wrong (you switched A and B).

The correct is: ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A Enter

Thanks!
