Our take on Chess
The focus on traditional chess keeps the rules and match structure narrow. That concentration leaves little room for varied objectives, changing scenarios, or progression outside improving play across computer and online matches.
What is Chess?
Chess presents a two-player board game about opposing armies in a 3D setting.
The board and pieces can be viewed from different angles and enlarged or reduced. Offline play offers three computer difficulty levels, while online matches connect players with opponents worldwide. The game focuses on testing chess skills through traditional turn-based battles.
How Chess plays
