CHESS HAS NEVER LOOKED LIKE THIS Chesshape turns the movements of the chess pieces into a calm, original logic puzzle. Every piece paints the squares it can reach: the rook floods a rank and a file, the bishop cuts the diagonals, the knight leaves its own L. Put the right pieces on the right squares, build the target pattern, and finish the puzzle in the fewest moves possible. MIX THE COLORS Paint red over yellow and make orange. Colors mix wherever two moves overlap, so the puzzle is choosing which moves cross, and where. New color combinations and more intricate patterns wait further in. EVERY PUZZLE HAS A PROVEN SOLUTION Every level has been checked to confirm that it has a valid solution under the game’s rules. WHAT IS IN THE GAME? * Over a thousand hand-built puzzles * Six chess pieces, each taught step by step * Strategic color-mixing mechanics * Eight tiers of difficulty, from the basics to Grandmaster * A new daily puzzle every day * Streaks, stars and progress rewards * The Hall of Legends, built from famous board problems * Calm play with no timers and no lives * Offline play and unlimited undo Stuck? A hint shows you the best next move. Replay a chapter without help to earn all three stars. Chesshape is free to play. An optional one-time Premium upgrade removes automatic ads and grants 60 bonus hints. Optional rewarded ads remain available. Hint packs are available too, if you want them.
