Chess is worth it if…
- you want a calm two-player board game during a party night
- you like taking turns on puzzles while others watch and kibitz

A slow two-player match on the side
You set up a board, pick a theme and avatar, and play. One of you moves, the other answers, with undo if someone begs for it and save and load if the snacks call. Timed games add a clock when you want faster, more focused matches. Local multiplayer puts you both on the same device, and online play lets you invite a Steam friend or join their game, with no time limit in the online beta. It is simple, clean, and easy to follow from the couch.
Puzzles and practice between turns
You can play against AI at several difficulty levels, from beginner-friendly games to tougher strategic ones. You can also work through chess puzzles, including a set of 777 added in the Summer Update, or use the board editor to set up custom positions and explore scenarios. It suits taking turns while others watch, suggest terrible sacrifices, and take credit when they work.
Good to know before you play?
How many people can play at once?
Two. Matches are one against one, either on the same device or online with a Steam friend. It fits best as a side game for two people while the rest of the room watches, rather than something the whole group plays together.
Can you keep a party-night match short?
Yes. You can add a clock for faster, more focused games, take back moves with undo, or save and continue later if conversation takes over. Online games in the current beta have no time limit, so those stay relaxed.
