• A palette of background colors to set the mood around the board.
• Mix and match boards, pieces, and backgrounds — your combination is saved automatically.
SIMPLE TO PLAY, EASY TO LEARN
If you can recognize a chessboard, you can start in seconds:
• Tap a piece or drag it — it lifts smoothly under your finger and snaps into place.
• Every legal move is highlighted, so you always know your options and never move illegally by accident.
• The last move and checks are clearly marked, so the board is easy to read at a glance.
• Undo a move or restart a game with a single tap.
• No clutter, no confusing menus — just you and the board.
