Comments on Hexagonal - Chess Variants for Android

★★★★☆ Snazzy Soundwave · Jun 1, 2024
Great game, love this variation of chess, and I'm actually better at it than normal chess. I would put 5 stars, but there is no local 2 player. I want to play this with my friend but since there's no local 2 player it is impossible.
★★★★☆ Conrad Adams · Dec 3, 2025
Great game! Just a bug that I noticed: Pawns always had the option to move 2 spaces forward. But in regular chess, pawns only have the option to move 2 spaces forward once only, which is only possible on that pawn's starting position. Aside from that, I'm enjoying this variant of chess. Looking forward to keep improving at this game!
★★★★★ Herond Test · Sep 11, 2023
An interesting variation of the traditional chess. The music and the visuals are pretty good as well.
★★★★★ Nice Gaol · Aug 27, 2023
For what it is, it's a good variation of Hexagonal Chess. There are other variations that I do wish that they would include. Including but not limited to custom pieces' moves (specifically regarding the pawn) and board orientation.
★☆☆☆☆ Johnny Balistoy · Apr 26, 2024
2.9 overall rating is more than deserved. I really wanted this game to work, but as mentioned in dozens of other reviews, it simply crashes.
★☆☆☆☆ Matt Ambrose · Jun 8, 2026
Unable to launch application, game crashed on boot Galaxy S23 Ultra
★☆☆☆☆ Zachary Sasser · Nov 18, 2025
Fake online mode. You do not have the ability to put a profile picture but somehow the "online players" all have profile pics
★★☆☆☆ Sushinozakia · Feb 9, 2024
So.... I tried opening the game a couple of times. However, it just keeps crashing a couple of seconds after I open the app. Edit: I tried reinstalling it like you said, but it just kept crashing when I opened it.

Description by Kotic-Games Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Hexagonal chess refers to a group of chess variants played on boards composed of hexagon cells. The best known is Gliński's variant, played on a symmetric 91-cell hexagonal board.

Since each hexagonal cell not on a board edge has six neighbor cells, there is increased mobility for pieces compared to a standard orthogonal chessboard. (E.g., a rook has six natural directions for movement instead of four.) Three colours are typically used so that no two neighboring cells are the same colour, and a colour-restricted game piece such as the orthodox chess bishop usually comes in sets of three per player in order to maintain the game's balance.
I'm trying to create an application that allows a player of any level to enjoy the game.

Chess pieces:
Endgame studies
These endgame studies apply to both Gliński's and McCooey's variants

king + two knights can checkmate a lone king;
king + rook beats king + knight (no fortress draws and a negligible number (0.0019%) of perpetual check draws);
king + rook beats king + bishop (no fortress draws and no perpetual check draws);
king + two bishops cannot checkmate a lone king, except for some very rare positions (0.17%);
king + knight + bishop cannot checkmate a lone king, except for some very rare positions (0.5%);
king + queen does not beat king + rook: 4.3% of the positions are perpetual check draws, and 37.2% are fortress draws;
king + rook can checkmate a lone king.
Important Chess situations:

- Check - the situation in chess when a king is under immediate attack by opponent's pieces
- Checkmate - the situation in chess when the player whose turn it is to move is in check and has no legal move to escape check.
- Stalemate - the situation in chess when the player whose turn it is to move has no legal move and is not in check. (draw)

The goal of the game is to checkmate the other king.

Two special moves in Chess:

- Castling is a double move, performed by the king and the rook that never moved.
- En passant is a move in which a pawn can take an opponent's pawn if it jumps over a field under the pawn's blow.

Features:

- Four levels of difficulty
- Chess Puzzles
- Game Assistant (Helper)
- Ability to undo a move
- Hints of moves
- Stars for levels completed without the undo button
- Seven different themes
- Two board views (Vertical - 2D and Horizontal - 3D)
- Alternate mode
- 2 player mode
- Realistic graphics
- Save function
- Sound effects
- Small size
