## What is NogChess?

NogChess is a new chess-inspired strategy game built on the logic of classic chess — expanded to a 9x10 board with three new pieces and fresh tactical possibilities.

Classic chess thinking. New territory.

NogChess keeps the familiar goal of chess: protect your king, coordinate your pieces, create threats, and checkmate your opponent. But the game begins from a new starting point: a larger 9x10 board, new piece interactions, and positions that are not dominated by memorized opening theory.

What makes NogChess different:

• A new 9x10 board with 90 squares
• Three new pieces: Super-Pawn, Guard Knight, and Prince
• Fresh tactical and strategic patterns
• Offline local play for two players on one device
• Online game search
• Interactive board for practice and analysis
• Built-in rules and explanations for new pieces
• Game history for reviewing previous matches

The new pieces add depth while staying close to the spirit of chess:

Super-Pawn
A stronger pawn that can move diagonally forward, creating new pawn structures and tactical ideas.

Guard Knight
A knight-based piece with expanded attacking possibilities, designed for a larger board.

Prince
A powerful new piece that brings additional mobility and strategic balance to the game.

NogChess is designed for players who love calculation, creativity, and strategic discovery. It gives chess players a fresh field to explore — where memorized openings matter less, and original thinking matters more.

Start as a guest, learn the rules, explore the 9x10 board, and begin your first NogChess game.
