Our take on Chess Ultra
The page gives considerable attention to visual presentation and VR environments, while the core offering remains chess: matches, puzzles, tutorials, and historic games. The 4K and VR emphasis describes how the board is presented, not a change to the underlying game.
What is Chess Ultra?
Chess Ultra presents chess with local and online play, 10 AI difficulty levels, and ELO rankings.
Online matches offer Classical, Blitz, and Marathon time controls, alongside cross-platform play, leaderboards, and official tournaments. Players can work through more than 80 chess puzzles, revisit historic matches, or use tutorials to study the game. Game notation can be exported in PGN format for local and online matches, and Twitch integration allows play against a community. The game also supports VR with Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, using their controllers to move pieces in detailed chess environments. Its focus is standard chess, presented through different settings, play modes, and learning activities.
