Chess Remix: Chess Variants

A new way to play the world's oldest game

Love chess but tired of memorising openings? Our competitive online play is focused on thinking fast not learning patterns. Challenge yourself to overcome opponents in a randomly selected Chess Remix. The games all use the standard chess pieces with alternate rules. Can you think quickly and find new ways to win?


The whole world's Chess in one place

Chess Remix contains Chess games from around the world. You can try Shogi (Japanese Chess), Xiangqui (Chinese Chess), Janggi (Korean Chess), Makruk (Thai Chess) and more. These games have all been styled to look like the Chess you are used to, making it easier to learn for beginners.


A journey through the history of Chess

Travel back to where it all began, 6th century India, and try Chaturanga, the original Chess. See the games it developed into as it spread across the globe. Play Courier Chess like a 12th century European or test your skills at Tamerlane Chess.

Delve into ancient Shogi and experience the progression through different eras of Japanese history. Enjoy a marathon game of the massive Dai Shogi or a quick game of Mini-Shogi.

You can even play Hnefatafl, the Chess of the Vikings.


Chess 2.0

Chess Remix lets you change the rules and make your own game. Will you invent the next Chess?

It's your game play by your rules. You could win by losing the game,
start in random places or just have En Passant be a forced move. Don't like casting? You can turn it off. Want a Rook that also moves like a Knight? You got it. There are limitless possibilities (okay technically there is a limit, but there are so many options you could never play all of them).


Not just Chess

We have so many options to customise your Chess game you can even play Checkers. The app comes pre loaded with a variety of Checkers games from around the world and some ancient versions of the game. You can even play some other abstract board games like Three Men's Morris or even Tic-Tac-Toe.


Become more than a Chess Master

A standard Chess game has 6 pieces. Chess Remix starts with more than 100. To help you learn them we have hand designed levels to help you understand and use every piece in Chess history and the new rules you might encounter.
