## What is Card Chess?

Chess is a wonderful game of strategy and execution but it has a number of problems. It takes a long time to learn and to play. The stronger player almost always wins making most pairings lopsided and it contains few surprises and reversals. Card chess is an attempt to resolve some of these problems. The element of chance limits but does not remove the value of strategy and allows recoveries  from seemingly doomed positions. The cards limit the number of choices facing a player making the game considerably faster. This also makes the game more attractive to younger and less experienced players. The app also allows you to play ordinary chess.

## Key features

- Card-based gameplay for chance and reversals
- Faster game pace

### 2/5 — No computer opponent.

*2022-06-22*

‘Card chess’ is a very clever concept. Well done, developer! But there is no computer opponent option that I could see. So if you can’t find a human opponent, you are out of luck with this game.
