About this game

I made this game for my kids, who got into chess. I wanted VR chess to make learning fun — even if you have to cheat to win!

Challenge Stockfish 19 fully offline, with 10 difficulty levels you can change anytime. Start easy and work your way up, or play online via Lichess, including games with friends.

Cheat your way to victory! Switch sides, ask your pieces for whispered hints, and undo mistakes. You get 3 hints and 3 undos per game.

Need more? Win one of 4 mini-games to refill hints and undos while training your memory, piece recognition, and understanding of chess moves.

Use controllers or hand tracking to grab and move pieces naturally. Adjust the board’s size, position, and rotation — even while lying down — then lock it in place.

Defeat opponents to unlock 12 unique themed chess sets, then switch between them anytime.

Enjoy interactive pawn promotion and full chess rules, including castling, en passant, checkmate, stalemate, and draws.

Your progress saves automatically. Play in VR or bring the board into your room with Mixed Reality.

Lost again? Smash the board and watch the pieces fly! 😉

More themes, features, and mini-games are on the roadmap.
