Description
Chess is a board logic game with special pieces for two opponents, combining elements of art, science and sport.
The game consists of players taking turns making moves. White makes the first move. Except for the capturing on the pass and castling described below, the move consists of the player moving one of his pieces to another square according to the following rules:
Pieces:
The King moves to the adjacent square vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The Queen moves any distance vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. The Rook moves any distance vertically or horizontally. The Bishop moves any distance on the diagonal. The knight moves two squares vertically and then one square horizontally or vice versa, two squares horizontally and one square vertically, thus the knight moves like a capital letter "L" in the Latin alphabet. A pawn can only move forwards: without a capture it moves one square vertically forwards, and with a capture it moves diagonally one square forwards-right or forwards-left. When a pawn moves to the last horizontal, it is replaced by any other piece of the same colour, except the king, at the player's choice.
The aim of the game is to checkmate the opponent's king. Check is a situation where the king is under checkmate. Checkmate - a situation where the king is under check and the player has no opportunity to eliminate this check. Pat or draw - a situation when a player in his turn is unable to make a single move, but the player's king is not under check.
Game features: - 3D graphics; - Possibility to play for time and without; - Possibility to play both with a friend and with an AI; - Animation of movement of pieces; - Adjustment of game quality, piece speed and volume levels; - Sound effects and music; - Board Editor.

Good game and a nice idea. If the light sources were to the sides and closer it would be easier to distinguish pieces and piece colors. And if you are willing to make the project open source I'm happy to assist with capture animations.
★★★★★
Brilliantly made. A beautiful chess app of an iconic movie scene ❤️
★★★★★
Good game rough around the edges. Dev is clearly new to coding so cut them some slack. Interested to see how it improves. All in all finally someone is trying to make the game I've wanted to play since I first read it in Harry Potter.
★★★★★
Good game as it is, could do with a few improvements like graphics and changing the view from being stuck at birds eye, great idea and as a new game can be expected to need some updates.
★★☆☆☆
There was no effort put into this game. There's no detail in the pieces, and they don't attack each other like I thought they would. I sort of expected a short little cinematic each time a piece attacked another piece like in the movie (that could be switched on or off as a preference) but there was no magic to this game and I uninstalled it after the first game.
★★☆☆☆
Would be an amazing game, if the pieces actually fought each other but they don't. Its just another generic chess game that I beat in 4 moves using the old bishop queen double team now DO BETTER im highly surprised you got any funding for this game at all and wouldn't be surprised if you got sued for stealing the music
★★☆☆☆
Ugly game. You can't see the chess pieces clearly.
★★☆☆☆
This stinks. I only get to play one match, and then it'll not let me have another without closing the app. Fix that and I'll love this game
★★☆☆☆
It was ok but played 1 game getting the AI in check, and it just didn't move, and I had for a full 5 minutes of waiting for a move that never happened, but it's actually not that bad looking for a wizards' chess game
