About
A chess and chess-variant app built for iPhone and iPad. **The focus is two innovative modes: Reveal Chess and Flip Chess** — both add hidden pieces and surprise to classic ideas, with strategy and tension in every game. Classic chess is also available for those who prefer the standard game.

### Reveal Chess
Reveal Chess is played on the standard chessboard. **All pieces start face-down so neither side knows their identity**; the initial setup is randomized. During the game you can **move your pieces** or **flip face-down pieces**. The first time you move a piece, it is revealed; from then on it follows normal chess rules for that piece type (queen, rook, bishop, knight, pawn, etc.). As you flip and move, the position gradually becomes clear. **You win by checkmating or capturing the opponent’s king.** The mix of deduction and memory with full chess tactics makes it ideal for players who like logic and traditional chess.

### Flip Chess
Flip Chess uses a **4×8 board** with 32 pieces (pawns, king, queens, bishops, knights, rooks, and a special **Cannon**). **Everything starts face-down in a random layout.** Each turn you either **flip one face-down piece** or **move one of your face-up pieces**; both count as a move. Most pieces (except the Cannon) move **one square up, down, left, or right**. Captures depend on **piece strength**: King > Queen > Bishop > Rook > Knight > Cannon > Pawn, with **Pawn able to capture King**. The **Cannon** does not move normally; it **captures by jumping over exactly one piece** (friend or foe, face-up or face-down) to hit the next piece. If the target is face-down, the Cannon can take it regardless of strength; if face-up, it can only capture enemy pieces. Each side has **60 HP**; capturing enemy pieces deals damage by value (e.g. King 30, Queen 10, Pawn 2). **Reduce the opponent’s HP to 0 to win.** If many moves pass with no capture, the game is **drawn**. Flip Chess is fast and unpredictable, great for short, tense games.

**Online and progress**: Both Reveal and Flip support online matchmaking, room levels, and coin stakes; friend invites, resign/draw, reconnect, and clear settlement are all included. The app supports 8 languages (Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Russian, Spanish) and offers profiles, daily sign-in, and a full iOS experience.
