## What is ChessCrush?

Would you beat Magnus Carlsen if you started with a huge advantage? 

Find out in Chess Crush, the balanced chess app built for fair, exciting chess between players of different Elo. Chess Crush drops you straight into mid game and end game positions using a proprietary balancing system: our algorithm measures centre pawn advantage to generate imbalanced starting boards that create a genuinely balanced chess fight. Skip memorized openings, jump into real decisions, and play the part of chess that actually decides games - the mid game tactics, the messy transitions, and the technical end game conversions.
