## What is War Engine Chess?

The world's first AI engine for Tamerlane Chess — a strategy 
game lost to history for 600 years. Now playable on your phone.

War Engine Chess brings you two legendary strategy experiences 
in one app: the rare and historically rich Tamerlane Chess 
(Timur Satrancı) and the timeless Classic Chess.

— TAMERLANE CHESS (TİMUR SATRANCI) —
Played by the great conqueror Timur (Tamerlane) in the 14th 
century, this variant uses a larger board, unique pieces, and 
deeper strategy than classic chess. It was nearly forgotten 
by history — until now.

War Engine Chess features the world's first dedicated AI engine 
built specifically for Tamerlane Chess rules. No other app in 
the world offers this. Study openings, practice endgames, and 
master a game that even most chess masters have never played.

— CLASSIC CHESS —
Powered by Stockfish — the world's strongest open-source chess 
engine — our Classic Chess mode offers a true challenge for 
beginners and grandmasters alike. Play at your own pace against 
an AI that adapts to your skill level.

— PLAY WITH FRIENDS —
Challenge your friends to a real-time online match in either 
game mode. Send friend requests, manage your friends list, and 
invite them to a game with a single tap. Real-time gameplay 
powered by Firebase ensures zero lag and instant moves.

— FEATURES —
• World's first Tamerlane Chess (Timur Satrancı) AI engine
• Classic Chess powered by Stockfish
• Real-time online multiplayer
• Friend system with requests and invitations
• Spectate live games
• Beautiful, intuitive board design

Whether you are a chess enthusiast looking for your next 
obsession, a history lover drawn to ancient strategy, or a 
competitive player seeking a true challenge — War Engine Chess 
is built for you.
