## What is Chess?

Chess-Stone is chess as you know it — and a variant that changes everything.

CLASSIC MODE
Standard chess, no gimmicks: the game you already know, now with a clean, considered design.

RPS CHESS — Chess-Stone's signature twist
Before you move a piece, you have to win your turn in Rock, Paper, Scissors. Every move is a secret standoff against your opponent: pick your weapon, the result is revealed, and only the winner gets to move. It changes the strategy of chess you already know, completely.

PLAY YOUR WAY
- Local pass-and-play, two players on one device
- Against the bot, with adjustable difficulty
- Live online against opponents worldwide

ONLINE & RANKINGS
Quick matchmaking, invite friends by code, one-tap rematches, and an Elo ranking that tracks your progress match by match.

YOUR PROFILE
Sign in with Apple, Google, or email — or jump in as a guest with no account at all. Pick an avatar, track your stats, and get notified when it's your move.

No ads. No tracking. Just chess, with a twist.
