You have the same traditional chess pieces, but they are not what they seem: A pawn that can shoot a cannon ball. A knight that can jump to any space on the board.

There are 12 special pieces beyond the traditional ones, and 6 game modes. As you play more and more, you advance levels and unlock special pieces and game modes.
