About This Game

Your opponent. Your clock. Your next move.

Chess Duel brings classic chess to the table in first person. Sit across from your opponent, reach for a piece and feel the rhythm of a match as the clock runs down.

A seat at the table

Animated hands carry pieces across the board and place captured pieces beside the player who took them. Stay in the seated view for the atmosphere or switch to Board Focus Mode for a clearer look at the position.

Find your next opponent

Host an online 1v1 game and invite a Steam friend, or play against AI opponents with different strengths and personalities. Patient positional play, active attacks and sharper tactical choices give practice games different rhythms.

Classic chess, complete rules

Play with castling, en passant, promotion and the full rules for check, checkmate and draws. Choose a time control, follow the move history and return to the table for a rematch.
