Hello guys, My name is Shashwat and I made this app chess9 to play and enjoy the game for fun it has luxury board where pieces are made up of black and gold color. Please feel free to check features like Check, Checkmate, Castling, Pawn capturing to opposite board and progressing to Queen. Guys, when you play the game the opponent is meant to be very easy so everybody can learn, progress, try different moves and grow and be the best at their own pace. So definately give it a shot and keep growing and learning. Thank you!
