MChess vs Hamle

MChess is a chess application designed for players who appreciate familiar rules alongside fresh tactical options. Begin with standard play, then explore the expanded mode: assemble a custom army within a fixed point budget and use hybrid pieces such as the Maharajah, Archbishop, and Chancellor. The app checks custom setups before each match, ensuring unusual positions follow clear legal constraints. Play with a friend online, wherever you both are: one player creates a private room and shares a short room code, the other joins with it. Each player builds their army in private and locks it in — the armies are revealed together and the match starts automatically. You can also play two players on one device, practice against the built-in engine, or use local network play when you are in the same room on separate devices. LAN hidden setup works the same way: each player prepares privately before both armies are revealed.
