About this game
NOTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS
CHEES is a mind-bending chess twist where your rooks might slither like pawns, bishops charge like queens, and your trusted knight hops like a rook. One wrong assumption and your grand strategy crumbles. Every piece lies. Every move is a gamble. Can you see through the chaos?
EVERY GAME, A NEW PUZZLE
Forget memorized openings—they're useless here. Each match shuffles piece behaviors completely at random. Your Queen might move like a Knight. Your Pawns might dominate like Rooks. Analyze on the fly, spot disguised threats, and exploit hidden strengths. Pure tactical genius wins the day.
TRUE CHESS, TWISTED
All the rules you know—promotion, castling, timers, stalemate—with a devious twist. Track captured pieces, review move history, rewind mistakes. Beat the clock or claim victory by checkmate!
BATTLE THE AI
Challenge a cunning AI that thinks ahead, adapts to shuffles, and never plays the same twice. Multiple difficulty levels for beginners and masters alike. Perfect for solo practice or endless replayability.
