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”? Compete vs. an AI in Ranked, Daily, or Weekly Challenges. Improve your skills using the included Freeplay mode. Compete against your friends locally in versus mode! ------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. -zach}

Just a suggestion- Personally, I forget the rules for each game mode and wish there was a little description or a main page. No matter what you click a game opens up. It’s highly enjoyable though!

If the bot gets in a position where it can constantly check you but never mate you, it will get stuck forever and you can do anything, it will never stop giving checks forcing you to move or block and it’s terrible (five stars bc apple hides 1 star reviews)

Il manque la possibilité de faire des égalités, qui reste quand même une des partie les plus importantes dans les échec quand on est sur le point de perdre, c’est savoir jouer ces pion afin de forcer le pat qui motive les joueur à rester lorsqu’il pensent avoir perdu

I love the idea but the game doesn’t feel fluid, the movements are direct, there is no transition, I would like to be able to play online. I think they should do something like Chess.com with your idea and it would be wonderful, without a doubt I would play it. How are you now? I’m sorry but it’s a no

Love this game I recommend for kids over the age of 5 it is a extremely immersive game and can improve your skills in chess due to difficult situations. By the way this is not a bot. So go get this game it will become your new favourite. As well as this parents this is a educational and fun way of spending time.

Very interesting chess game. The nonstandard starting positions make the game a great series of chess exercises to better your playing skills and a fun way to engage in a game that can feel too serious and/or occasionally repetitive… but it has some serious flaws. No draws is the biggest one I’ve come across so far - the AI has gotten itself in a position where it is unable to beat me, and I am now tasked with either losing anyway or giving up on the app entirely, just because the game’s too dumb to realize it cannot win. I do have the option to surrender, but it kind of kills the fun for me to be required to lose simply because I’m smarter than the AI in this position - it absolutely could pursue a victory, but it can only fathom one move in this position, which should earn me a draw. It’s not smart enough to win, so it’s my job to hold its hand a press the surrender button. I hope further updates allow the AI to, at the very least, not brick games like this.
