Chess

Chess lets you play classic chess against AI, locally with family and friends, or online with a Steam friend. You can also solve puzzles, customize the board and set up custom positions.

Game modes

Play against AI at multiple difficulty levels, from beginner-friendly games to tougher strategic challenges. Local multiplayer lets two people play on the same device. Online, you can start a quick game, invite a Steam friend or join their game; the online beta has no time limit and is designed for relaxed play. You can also add a clock for timed matches.

Puzzles and positions

Solve chess puzzles to practice tactics, including a set of 777 puzzles added in the Summer Update. The board editor lets you create custom positions and explore different chess scenarios.

Customize and continue

Choose from different board styles, avatars and sounds. You can undo moves, save a game and load it later.

Steam features

The game includes Steam achievements, Rich Presence, cloud support, stats, leaderboards and trading cards. The Summer Update also adds a seasonal soccer-themed board background and avatar.
