About the game

Three ways to start a match sit behind one Play button: a computer opponent whose strength you set from beginner up to master, other people online, or a friend. Online wins push your rating up. With a friend you either open a private room or hand the same phone back and forth in classic mode.

Moves work the same in every mode. Tap a piece, then tap the square it should land on. Take the other king with checkmate, or hold out until the clock decides it. Watch your loose pawns against the stronger computer settings. If the standard set wears thin, Themes swaps the piece shapes and the board style.

How to play

Press Play in the main menu, then pick your opponent: computer, online players or a friend.
Tap one of your pieces, then tap the square you want it to move to.
Win by checkmating the other king or by coming out ahead when time runs out.
Open Themes to change the piece shape and the board type.
