Chess is also playable against another player, either way winning won’t come easy.

With stunning 3D graphics and realistic game play you will feel you are playing on a real chess board and you can change your viewpoint of the board in order to help you see that killer strategic move to win the game.

The built in chess engine automatically helps you make legal moves by highlighting the squares of any piece can move to.

Chess has a selection of different boards and pieces to choose from so no game will look the same.
