## What is Gambit?

Gambit is chess — and five chess worlds beyond it. One clean board, every way to play.

GAME TYPES
• Classic Chess — full rules: castling, en passant, promotion, draws.
• Fischer Random (Chess960) — randomized back rank with generalized castling.
• Open Borders (Horde) — 36 pawns storm a full army.
• Turnabout (Crazyhouse) — capture a piece, then drop it back as your own.
• Siamese (Bughouse) — two boards, captured pieces feed your partner.
• Star Trek Tri-D — three-dimensional chess across seven boards.

WAYS TO PLAY
• Computer — five difficulty levels, from a gentle start to a real fight. Moves are instant.
• Pass-and-play — two players on one device.
• Online — invite a friend with a link, or find a match automatically. Live clocks, resign and draw offers, and you can watch other live games.

MORE
• Eight board themes.
• Post-game analysis — an evaluation graph and move-quality marks.
• A library of famous games to replay.
• Optional cross-device game history with "Sign in with Knomee."

No account is required to play. Sign in only if you want your game history synced across devices.
