IsoChess

IsoChess is a chess game for new and experienced players. You can play against computer opponents, other people online or a second player on the same computer, and switch between isometric and top-down visuals during a game.

Play against computer opponents

You can choose from community-developed chess engines, including Stockfish, which can play at both high and lower difficulty levels. Most engines that support the Universal Chess Interface are compatible; install them in the game's ai/ directory to select them for a game. You can also play human-versus-AI or AI-versus-AI games offline.

Multiplayer

Local multiplayer lets two people play on the same computer. Online, you can join games created by paid copies of IsoChess; a paid copy also lets you create games against other owners or anyone on Steam. Cross-play supports players using Windows, Mac and Linux. You can record games and review past games with a paid copy.

Board views

Choose between retro isometric “2.5D” and classic top-down 2D views, and change styles at any point during a game.
