## What is Surge Chess?

Surge Chess rethinks chess as a real-time duel.

Instead of waiting through turn-by-turn play, both sides move under the same live clock. Pieces travel across the board in motion, collisions matter, and every decision becomes a test of timing, positioning, and nerve.

Features
Real-time chess gameplay with simultaneous action
Online matches through Game Center
Local two-player mode on one device
Offline matches against AI
Fast visual feedback with animated movement and pressure-based play
Clean, high-contrast presentation designed for quick readability

Surge Chess keeps the language of classic chess while changing the pace completely. If you enjoy chess, strategy games, or competitive reflex-based play, Surge Chess offers a fresh way to think about the board.
