About This Game

Chess Pieces. Match-3 Rules. One Brilliant Game.

ChessMatch takes the movement rules of chess and drops them into a match-3 puzzle board. Swap pieces using the moves they'd make on a real chessboard -- pawns push forward, rooks slide across rows, bishops cut diagonals, however knights move -- and line up three or more of the same type to clear them from the board.

6 Chess Pieces. 6 Devastating Powers.

Match 4 or more to forge special black pieces. Combine two specials for spectacular chain reactions that cascade across the board.

100 Handcrafted Levels

Not every level plays the same. Across 100 stages you'll encounter:

  • Score Challenges -- Reach the target score before you run out of moves.

  • Hunts -- Match specific piece types to complete the mission.

  • Checkmate -- Guide the Golden King to the bottom of the board.

  • Destroy Walls -- Siege castle walls.

  • Thaw Frozen -- Thaw ice-locked pieces by matching next to them.

  • Obscured Pieces -- Shrouded enemies that block your vision and cannot be swapped.

Boards range from compact 4x4 grids to sprawling 12x12 battlefields.

Combos

When pieces clear and new ones fall into place, chain reactions happen. Trigger cascading matches to rack up bonus points and earn extra moves. Pull off advanced tactics -- Discovered Attacks, long-range Snipes, promoted Pawn plays, and Knight Forks -- to earn bonus points .

4 Ways to Play
