About this game
Chess Knightmare is a variant of chess that is NOT turn-based. The only limit to how often you can move is how fast you can move your mouse. You play as a lone knight, traveling through the country and taking on the armies of chess pieces from your opponents. Each opponent piece has a certain behavior and movement patterns. Try to take the opponent's king with quick thinking, fast mouse speed, and clever knight maneuvers. As you progress, you will be able to unlock a special additional piece that will help you defend yourself: The Rock. Use it to block the opponent from taking you.
