## What is Knight's Gambit?

The Ultimate Chess Racing Challenge

  Think you know chess? Think again! Gambit Run is a fast-paced arcade game that combines classic chess movement with endless runner excitement. Navigate through an
  infinite chess board filled with enemies, obstacles, and treasures as you race to reach new heights!

  navigate the board, but stay sharp - one wrong move and it's game over!
