Schachkampf

Schachkampf is a chess game built around maps of puzzles. Each map run contains 54 puzzles, ranging from mate in 1 to mate in 4. Starting a new run gives you 54 different puzzles drawn from a pool of 3,000,000.

Puzzle difficulty

The game uses Stockfish AI, with 100 difficulty levels to choose from. Level 1 is suited to absolute beginners, while level 100 is described as too difficult for even a pro player to beat.

Boards and starting positions

You can unlock and play on 12 handcrafted boards in the style of 90s JRPGs, with settings ranging from cozy woods and small towns to icy woods. You can also unlock up to 12 starting variations, each leading to different strategies and tactics.

Play with others

Local multiplayer lets you play against friends in person. Remote Connect lets you play with virtual friends.

Chess views

You can choose the direction in which the pieces move: play bottom-up in the classic chess view or left-to-right in a sideways view like other turn-based tactics games. A chess overlay can identify which chess piece each soldier represents.
