Really Bad Chess

The application, Really Bad Chess, is a unique twist on the classic game of chess. It has received high praise from various sources, including a 5 out of 5 star rating from TouchArcade and positive reviews from The Verge, Applenapps, Pocket Gamer, and MacLife. The game is designed for both experienced chess players and those who are new to the game, offering a fresh and exciting experience for all.

The free version of the app allows players to compete against an AI in Ranked, Daily, or Weekly Challenges. It also includes a Freeplay mode for players to improve their skills. For those looking for a more competitive experience, an in-app purchase unlocks Versus Mode, allowing players to compete against their friends locally. This purchase also removes ads, displays captured pieces, and offers a variety of soothing color palettes to choose from.

The developer of Really Bad Chess wanted to create a version of chess that was more accessible and enjoyable for all players. They removed the traditional restrictions and balance of the game, making it more unpredictable and exciting. Even with the random placement of pieces, the game still maintains its core elements, but players will have to think outside the box and adapt to new strategies.

For experienced chess players, Really Bad Chess offers a new and challenging experience. It forces players to abandon their usual openings and patterns of play, making the game more unpredictable and strategic. On the other hand, for novice players, the game opens up the world of chess in a fun and engaging way. Instead of starting with studying openings, players can jump right into the game and learn the joy and challenge of checkmating their opponent.

The developer hopes that players will have as much fun playing Really Bad Chess as they did creating it. With its unique twist on the classic game and its appeal to both experienced and novice players, Really Bad Chess offers a fresh and exciting experience for anyone interested in strategy games.
