## What is Laser Chess?

Step into the ultimate tactical duel of mirrors and light. In Laser Chess, you must position your pieces, calculate precise angles, and fire your laser to obliterate the enemy King - before they do the same to you.

AIM. FIRE. OUTTHINK.
Every turn tests your spatial intelligence. Angle your mirrors to send the laser ricocheting across the board, but be careful: one misplaced piece, and the reflection could destroy your own King! Master the geometry, calculate your strategy, and brace yourself for the unpredictable chaos of the hypergons. It takes skill, nerve, and a little luck to win.

CHOOSE YOUR BATTLEFIELD
Classic Mode: Tight, high-tension gameplay with two actions per turn on a 9x9 grid.
Advanced Mode: A massive 15x11 board, three actions per turn, and a chaotic arsenal of beam splitters, bombs, and hypergons.

PLAY ANYONE, ANYWHERE
Online Matchmaking: Play against friends, just connect and select each other.
Local Pass-and-Play: Go head-to-head with a friend on a single screen.
Solo AI Practice: Test new strategies offline against our practice AI.

AN ARSENAL OF REFLECTION
Command lasers, one-way mirrors, beam splitters, stunners, bombs, and more. Each piece bends, blocks, or scatters light in a unique way. Master their interactions to turn the entire board into a deadly weapon.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2012-10-31*

Great remake of MikeDuppong's Amiga original!

### 1/5 — Can't tell what to do with it

*2011-03-30*

No instructions, no rules, no input except You can't do that.  Not bothering with the website to find out how to play this user-unfriendly game.  Bears no resemblance to actual chess, in that it seems impossible to make a move.  Deleted.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2010-04-11*

For free, its great. If the game were polished up a bit and got rid of the awful sounds, I'd easily pay for this.
