What it does
Play chess online, locally, or vs AI (4 levels) — but here's the twist: every capture is settled by a fast reflex mini-game. Lining up a piece doesn't guarantee the take — you have to win Pong, Labyrinth, Quick Draw, Memory Match, Target Practice or Tug of War to claim it. Strategy meets nerve, so even a beginner can upset a stronger player. Real-time online play, a global leaderboard, installable as an app — and free, running instantly in your browser. No download.
Play chess online or against AI, with reflex-based mini-games (Pong, Labyrinth, Quick Draw, Memory Match, Target Practice & Tug of War) deciding every capture. Free to play in your browser.

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
