About This Game

Learn Real Chess. Feel Real Progression.

Chess Master Quest is an idle progression game built on real chess. Every puzzle you solve, every grandmaster game you study, and every opening you learn is drawn from actual chess theory — not random mechanics with a chess skin.

You start on a park bench. Through thousands of tactical puzzles, time-pressure drills, and deep idle systems, you climb to the World Championship.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Chess Master Quest was built by a solo developer with the assistance of generative AI tools during development:

• Music: Some but not all background music tracks were created using procedural music generation tools that were themselves created using AI. All tracks were curated and selected by the developer for quality and fit.
• Code: AI coding assistants (GitHub Copilot, Claude) were used to help write and refine game code. All code was reviewed and tested by the developer.
• Text: AI was used to help draft and edit in-game text, including puzzle annotations and educational commentary. All text was reviewed and edited by the developer.

No AI-generated visual art is used in the game. Chess piece graphics are open-source vector assets. Store capsule images were created programmatically using Python/PIL scripts, not generative AI.

The in-game chess opponent uses Stockfish, a traditional chess engine — not generative AI. No content is generated by AI at runtime during gameplay.
