What an ingenious idea!

This guy is brilliant to add dimension and newness to an age-old game that has become relatively predictable. Wonderful! Add this to your everyday gameplay!

Ingenious concept for Chess

Chess has been around for a long time and the 8x8 board has been a constant fixture throughout its history. Beyond Chess changes that with its ability to move a square after each piece move. This change in tactics results with a board transforming further away from its starting formation as the game progresses. Holes or rifts are formed limiting the mobility of power pieces such as the rook, bishop, and queen. However the Knight can jump over these rifts and you will notice a slight increase in power as you play more and more. Another great feature of Beyond Chess is that it has a ton of predefined layout to start the game with. Each layout presents a new challenge with planning strategies. It will take a long long time to master them all.
