Played on a 5 x 5 board, with fewer pieces (one rook, knight and bishop and 5 pawns), each game can be played in minutes. Castling and pawn double-move are not allowed. Players have the option to face off against AI with 3 levels of difficulty. The game combines the fun and convenience of other play-while-you-wait games with intellectual stimulation of real Chess and is also a great way to introduce kids to the basics of Chess. This fast paced game is a perfect take on the timeless classic for our fast paced world. ## Mini Chess on Watch Screenshots - [Screenshot 1](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/8e/e2/d4/8ee2d4da-b338-751e-415b-3d4bc6fca2a3/1.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 2](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/18/32/0a/18320a3f-e041-9d72-1ba1-7d7d0ed4a6df/2.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 3](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/b5/20/6e/b5206e6e-41b0-7c3c-7688-9923291ac427/3.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 4](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/b1/52/9d/b1529d65-9d02-a8d5-e689-edd6c8d8ca7d/4.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 5](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/da/f0/3d/daf03d6c-954f-2277-31d8-ddf57a6ee897/5.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 6](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/8d/79/52/8d7952e9-2254-8300-b2d2-02bbcbe017ef/6.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 7](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/c7/c2/00/c7c2000c-13c7-0f92-87c6-1919e8113826/7.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 8](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/3f/1e/19/3f1e19e7-6fa9-fba4-2c1e-f9e08a4f054c/8.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 9](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource211/v4/1f/7e/6b/1f7e6bf2-beba-394b-e1f4-0fb2f7343d23/10.png/422x514.png) - [Screenshot 10](https://is1-ssl.mzstatic.com/image/thumb/PurpleSource221/v4/0b/e6/58/0be6585a-8ef9-a5c3-d96d-1bc5a3ab3b91/9.png/422x514.png) ## Mini Chess on Watch Rating Breakdown in United States - 5 stars: 10 (24%) - 4 stars: 2 (5%) - 3 stars: 2 (5%) - 2 stars: 5 (12%) - 1 stars: 22 (54%) ## Mini Chess on Watch Reviews in United States ### *---- "Avoid" Easily the worst app on the entire platform. It is nearly impossible to win in the half format. You are at a completely 99:1 disadvantage. It’s not a fair game. Whichever side goes second is almost garunteed to win and the bot is always second move. The bot also will specifically try and stalemate the game if it starts to lose -- Jeremiiahhh, 2024-10-02 ### *---- "Awful app" Never have won once -- Cannon0019, 2024-05-16 ### *---- "Glitch" The game was not working so I deleted it from my watch and now I can’t get it back -- Ty-Rexxx, 2022-12-24 ### **--- "Difficult gameplay" One of two things happen when I play this game. 1) I lose. Even the Novice setting is difficult with so little room to move around and only one of each back row piece. 2) It locks up. I’ve been stuck many times with every move I try being illegal. I’ll keep playing and update my review if it gets any better, but overall it’s not as much fun as I was led to believe. -- marcintosh, 2022-12-06 ### *---- "Knight In center of board" Hi I’ve got my knight in the center of the board and it won’t move anywhere. What gives? -- SuperflyGirl, 2020-11-19 ### *---- "Cheats" This game has repeatedly declared a stalemate on the hardest setting when I’m just about to win. Best avoided. -- Rougement, 2020-11-17 ### ****- "I got the wrong app." This doesn’t work on my watch. I have a 5.0 iWatch. Can I get my money back? -- ahclarice, 2020-10-24 ### ***** "Loving this baby chessboard" what’s interesting is that it’s a completely different game when you cut it down to this size. Not easier. Not harder. Just as much fun, which surprised me. -- joecunningham, 2020-09-27 ### ***** "AI issues" Though the game is great at the start and deserves 5 stars, by a week later I can continually beat the game by performing the same 8 moves. At the start I thought the AI was reacting to my moves based on previous moves and at least somewhat looking forward. Instead the AI reacts to all moves the same way. This is how I realized the 8 moves that will always lead to a checkmate. 1) (W) Queen Pawn move forward (B) reacts with Bishop Pawn takes Queen Pawn 2) (W) Knight to Queen Pawn’s starting square (B) reacts with Rook Pawn forward 3) (W) King Pawn takes pawn (B) reacts with King Pawn takes pawn 4) (W) Bishop Pawn takes pawn (B) Knight Threatens Queen 5) (W) Knight Pawn takes Knight (B) Queen Pawn takes pawn 5) (W) Queen put King in check (B) King moves in front of Queen 6) (W) Knight puts King in check (B) Queen takes Knight 7) (W) Queen moves up in line with King (B) Checkmate If you want I can send you a video. Please make AI somewhat smarter and get 5 stars from me. (Edit) I didn’t know that there was an expert level. I have now set it to expert to see what happens. I added a star now that I know this. I tried Intermediate and can beat the game using the same combination of moves. I will now move on to expert. I finally won in Expert mode. If you’re willing to sacrifice important pieces you can in fact win. 5 stars. Ok Expert is tougher. -- Gary Rabinovich, 2020-09-13 ### **--- "Annoying !!" At first it was a great, challenging way to spend time. However, I soon noticed it would glitch and i wouldn’t be able to make specific moves that would otherwise tip the game in my advantage. For example, my bishop wouldn’t move in a certain diagonal direction when it should, or my pawn wouldn’t move forward into an empty space. It’s incredibly annoying. It also frequently freezes and I end up having to delete the app and redownload for it to work again. -- Cierraseals, 2020-08-11 [View all Mini Chess on Watch reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Mini Chess on Watch Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | United Arab Emirates | Games | #46 | | Top Paid | South Africa | Games | #53 | | Top Paid | New Zealand | Games | #81 | | Top Paid | Nigeria | Games | #166 | | Top Paid | Australia | Games | #172 | | Top Paid | Austria | Games | #197 | | Top Paid | Sweden | Games | #238 | ## Mini Chess on Watch Discovered Keywords - mini chess on watch ## Apps Similar to Mini Chess on Watch - [Off Limits!
