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 - rooks slide across rows, bishops cut diagonals, knights move 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.

150 Handcrafted Levels

Not every level plays the same. Across 150 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.

  • Siege - Destroy castle walls.

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

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

  • Power Tiles - Glowing board squares that supercharge any piece matched on them.

  • Stone Pieces - Hardened pieces encased in stone.

Boards range from compact 4x4 grids to sprawling 12x12 battlefields. And make sure you mind the gaps!

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 like Discovered Attacks, long-range Snipes, promoted Pawn plays, and Knight Forks to earn bonus points .
