What the app already does
These features are in the current test version. The app is still being fine-tuned.
- Classic chess, following the rules described on this site: castling, en passant, promotion to the piece of your choice, checkmate, stalemate and draws.
- Two players on the same device, with the board turning around.
- Against the computer, at 8 levels, as White, as Black or at random; it calculates on the device, with no connection.
- Challenge a friend remotely, move by move, by QR code, link or code, with no server; or live on the same Wi-Fi.
- Games saved after every move, PGN export and import, FEN position import.
- Comfort: light or dark theme, reduced motion, portrait and landscape, phone and tablet.
- No account: nothing to create, no email address asked for.
