Really Bad Chess is just like chess, but with totally random pieces.


Really Bad Chess is just like chess, but with totally random pieces. Try 8 Knights, 4 Bishops, and 3 pawns — why not?nnAs heard on NPRs Weekend Editionnn5 out of 5 Stars "An essential puzzle experience for anyone even remotely interested in strategy games" - TouchArcadennWhether you play chess daily, or quit just after learning the rules, this small twist will open the door to an entire new world of chess.nn------WHATS IN THE “BOX”?nThe free version of Really Bad Chess lets you compete vs. an AI in Ranked, Daily, or Weekly Challenges. Improve your skills using the included Freeplay mode. A single in-app purchase unlocks Versus Mode so you can compete against your friends locally! It also removes ads, displays captured pieces, and adds soothing alternate color-palettes to choose from.nn------REALLY BAD PRESSnn"Makes chess fun even if you’re really bad" - The Vergenn"Feels more modern than chess has ever felt" - Applenappsnn"Really Bad Chess takes a really bad idea and somehow manages to make it a lot of fun." - Pocket Gamernnn------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER nChess is one of those games I always wished I enjoyed, but its commitment to beauty, elegance, and perfect balance always turned me away. Really Bad Chess removes these boring restrictions and flips chess on its head.nnAs much as random pieces change the game in some ways, I was really surprised to notice how much the game remains the same, and how powerful some pieces are — youve never truly struggled against a pawn until youve struggled against a pawn in the back row.nnFor chess pros, Really Bad Chess will give you a new type of challenge — the pieces & the moves are the same, but youll have to throw out your openings and your understanding of normal patterns of play. nnFor novice chess players (like most of us), Really Bad Chess greatly opens up the game. Instead of starting by studying openings, in your first games youll get to discover the joy (and challenge!) of learning how to checkmate.nnI hope you have as much fun with Really Bad Chess as much as I did making it.nn-zach

The idea is good on paper, but frustrating and unengaging in practice.

Brandon Stalding

It's good

Thomas Reed

Please add features to identify stalemate and draws. Now we can only surrender when these conditions are met. Also en-passant.

Anirban Biswas
