## What is Chess V+, fun chess game?

Welcome to the 2026 Edition of Chess. Relieve boredom, have fun and exercise your mind all at the same time with this classic board game.

Regardless of your playing level, ZingMagic's multi award winning Chess is a fun, stimulating and challenging game for beginners and champions alike.

Chess is a two player game with a colourful history which can be traced back to its Indian ancestor, Chaturanga. In 1291 the Archbishop of Canterbury in England threatened clergy who continued playing Chess with a diet of bread and water.  
The game has flourished over the years and is now one of the most popular board games in the world, requiring thought, skill and strategy to become successful.

The object of Chess is to capture the opponent's King.  To capture the King you must place it in check.  If the King cannot escape by itself, or with the help of its army, it is in checkmate and the King is captured.
 
Never played Chess before, not a problem. The game helps you at every step with hints, legal move display, piece move information, game information and over 20 levels of play enabling you to learn Chess at your own pace.

### 5/5 — App Support

*2021-02-18*

Great support fast problem solving!

**Developer response:** At a guess the app is using your Game Centre name - so its unlikely to clash with other player names in any multiplayer games. You can change your Game Centre name in the Settings app. (Apps can't set/change it themselves).

Can you elaborate on the problem you mention contacting our support - the email addr should be clearly available e.g. on the store pages. (Apple control the exact store page content + layout) As far as we are aware we are receiving all the support emails.

### 1/5 — Propagandas atrapalham

*2017-04-25*

Não se acha o botão de configuraçao para ajustar o nível
E te enche de propaganda te obrigando a comprar
Pode até ser bom
Mas se torna ruin por não dar mais liberdade de como poderiamos apreciar.

### 5/5 — Schön gemacht!!

*2013-11-30*

Sehr schönes Schachspiel. Es macht Spaß mit dieser App Schach zu spielen. Und wenn der Spassfaktor einfach stimmt.... ;-)

### 5/5 — Great version
