Description

Really Bad Chess is just like chess, but with totally random pieces. Try 8 Knights, 4 Bishops, and 3 pawns — why not?
As heard on NPR's Weekend Edition
5 out of 5 Stars "An essential puzzle experience for anyone even remotely interested in strategy games" - TouchArcade
Whether you play chess daily, or quit just after learning the rules, this small twist will open the door to an entire new world of chess.
------WHATS IN THE “BOX”?
The free version of Really Bad Chess lets you compete vs. an AI in Ranked, Daily, or Weekly Challenges. Improve your skills using the included Freeplay mode. A single in-app purchase unlocks Versus Mode so you can compete against your friends locally! It also removes ads, displays captured pieces, and adds soothing alternate color-palettes to choose from.
------REALLY BAD PRESS
"Makes chess fun even if you’re really bad" - The Verge
"Feels more modern than chess has ever felt" - Applenapps
"Really Bad Chess takes a really bad idea and somehow manages to make it a lot of fun." - Pocket Gamer
"Really good fun" - MacLife
------A WORD FROM THE DEVELOPER
Chess is one of those games I always wished I enjoyed, but its commitment to beauty, elegance, and perfect balance always turned me away. Really Bad Chess removes these boring restrictions and flips chess on its head.
As much as random pieces change the game in some ways, I was really surprised to notice how much the game remains the same, and how powerful some pieces are — you've never truly struggled against a pawn until you've struggled against a pawn in the back row.
For chess pros, Really Bad Chess will give you a new type of challenge — the pieces & the moves are the same, but you'll have to throw out your openings and your understanding of normal patterns of play.
For novice chess players (like most of us), Really Bad Chess greatly opens up the game. Instead of starting by studying openings, in your first games you'll get to discover the joy (and challenge!) of learning how to checkmate.
I hope you have as much fun with Really Bad Chess as much as I did making it.

Really Bad Chess Reviews

Best game ever

Best game ever 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Constantly crashing for the last two weeks.

++SlowSloth++ on

India

The game is constantly crashing after about 20-25 seconds of play.

Bad chess can be better

Bshznabsbcjxkskshdb on

India

There is no way to save games or analyse the completed ones later. Game finishes & there is nothing for me to savour need a way to store past games & add multiplayer ability via gamecenter.

Performance is really bad

kashishgrover on

India

There is a noticeable lag now when I try to move a piece. It is so very annoying and almost makes me want to stop playing. I hope you fix it.

Battery Draining

Ninax_94 on

India

Though game play is good, this app drained my battery by 18% for just 1 hour of usage. Not worth it.

Nice game. Great concept.

India

It’s a great game. Although I don’t play chess but this game is a great game.

FYI

playing really bad chess makes you really bad at real chess.

Too much deadlock due to repeated steps

Anirbansaha8611 on

India

Most of the time game is in deadlock situation where I need to surrender because same repeated steps are going on for infinite steps. Suppose a spawn made a check to king in two possible way and king can move these 2 steps. Then repeated way these 2 steps are only happening. I don’t have any option to place any other steps and need to force surrender. There should be a validation that same 2 move cannot have placed repeatedly. I think current validation with 1 move.

Nice 🎃👍

Game is very good but undos are very little after buying full version bcoz 100 undos lost very easily, so plz give 10 undos (not 5) on every ad watched after buying the full game .✌️

Too much ads
