EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN • Board sizes from cozy to brutal — up to 8×8 • Three difficulty levels in Standoff, with a learning Assist mode for beginners • Built-in Piece Guide that shows exactly how each piece attacks — no chess experience needed • Earn 3 stars for clean, unassisted solves • Stuck?
