Chees

Chees is a chess game where each piece’s movement behavior is randomly reassigned for every match. You must work out how the pieces move, spot disguised threats and use their unexpected abilities to win by checkmate or beat the clock.

Changing piece behavior

A rook might move like a pawn, a bishop like a queen, a knight like a rook, a queen like a knight, or pawns like rooks. The shuffle changes from game to game, so memorized openings do not apply and you have to adapt your tactics to each setup.

Chess rules and tools

The game uses familiar chess rules, including promotion, castling, timers and stalemate. You can review the move history, track captured pieces, rewind mistakes and pause the game.

Play against the AI

Challenge an AI that thinks ahead and adapts to the shuffled piece behaviors. Multiple difficulty levels offer solo play for beginners and more experienced players.

Local multiplayer

Two players can take turns on the same device, with no internet connection required. Both single-player and local multiplayer work offline.

Achievements and customization

You can unlock achievements for perfect games, comebacks and shuffle speedruns, and customize boards and pieces with cosmetic unlocks. Quick resets let you start another match right away.
