Hidden Pieces, Pure Strategy
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Discover a new way to play chess. Hidden pieces, random setups, and surprising reveals create every match. Outsmart opponents through strategy and deduction.
Hidden Chess: Shadow Chess reinvents traditional chess with a unique hidden-piece system that turns every match into a battle of strategy, memory, and deduction.
Unlike classic chess, most pieces begin the game hidden. Their identities remain unknown until they make their first move. Combined with randomized starting positions, every match becomes an unpredictable challenge where adaptation matters more than memorized openings.
