3DBlitzChess

Play fast, beautiful chess on a real 3D board.

3DBlitzChess is a blitz chess game built around a fully 3D board. Tilt the view, adjust the piece tone to your liking, and enjoy smooth piece animations in 5-, 10-or 15-minute games. Every move adds one second back to your clock, so the 3D animations never cost you time.

Customizable Board & Pieces: Easily adjust board height and fine-tune black piece color tones for optimal visibility.

PLAY AGAINST NAMED BOTS

Six named bots (Pip, Nova, Bellator, Invictus, Magister, Dominus), each with its own rating, from Pip (1100) to Dominus (2100). Their ratings are saved and change as people play them.
Rated games: pick Play vs Bot and a time (5, 10 or 15 minutes). The app picks the bot closest above your rating; as you improve you face stronger bots.
Practice mode: choose any bot from the lobby for an unrated game, perfect for learning without risking your rating.
Bots play different, theory-based openings every game, so no two games start the same.

PLAY ONLINE

Find Match pairs you with a player of a similar rating. The search starts close to your rating and widens the longer you wait.
Colors are assigned randomly. Moves and clocks are checked on the server, so games are fair.
If a game never gets going (no first moves within 30 seconds), it is cancelled and your rating is untouched.
