Chess is a strategic board game played between two players. It is played on a chessboard, which is a square-checkered board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. At the beginning of the game each player controls sixteen pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. The object of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king, whereby the king is under immediate attack (in "check") and there is no way to remove or defend it from attack on the next move.

Offline chess, local AI and original EDM-inspired music in a neon space arena. 30 CASE STAGES Open CASE STAGES for short chess puzzles: mate in one or two moves, defend your king and create knight forks. Each case awards one gem on its first clear only. Replay and retry freely without spending gems. Case progress is separate from the 50-stage campaign. EXPLORE 50 STAGES Tap START to begin a journey through 50 sequential AI stages. Win to unlock the next stage, earn stars and travel through changing space environments.

Preview skins before unlocking, switch between owned skins, and use your chosen colors on the 2D board. In Nearby VS, each player sees the other player's equipped pieces when both use a compatible version. PLAN YOUR NEXT MOVE In AI stages, Hint suggests a move for one gem. Showing the same recommendation again is free. Undo costs one gem per use, with up to two uses per game. Hint and Undo count toward your stage's star rating. Resign lets you end a game and try again. EARN AND SPEND GEMS The first clear of each tenth stage awards two gems. Ordinary and repeat stage clears award none. Optional short neon races offer two gems for success and an optional rewarded ad for three more. Read the guide, race or skip straight to chess.
