## What is Kishmat?

Kishmat is a chess app for playing on the same iPhone or iPad.

Play against another person locally, or switch to Solo mode and play against the built-in computer opponent.

The Solo engine searches legal chess moves on the device and shows a live visual of the search while it thinks. You can choose Eco, Mid, or Max power depending on how much time you want the engine to spend per move.

No accounts, no tracking, no ads, and no in-app purchases.

Features:
- Local two-player chess
- Single-player Solo mode
- Adjustable engine power
- Live search visualization
- Legal move highlighting
- Undo, reset, and board flip
- Check, checkmate, and stalemate detection
- Castling, en passant, and pawn promotion
