Description by heather sherry(from the App Store)
a moody, noir-styled chess game built for two people who just want to play — not create accounts, remember passwords, or manage a clock.
Start a game and send a short private invite code through Messages or any share sheet. Your friend taps it and you're both at the board in seconds. No email, no password, no friction.
Want a handle instead? Claim a personal @handle with a live free-or-taken check as you type — still no sign-in form, ever.
Beginners are genuinely welcome here. Tap any piece to see every legal move, captures marked differently, and the king glows the moment it's in check. Illegal moves are refused gently, never with a lecture.
No friend online right now? Run a quick match against anyone, or practice against the app at one of three strengths that genuinely differ. Gentle wanders and leaves pieces hanging. Steady punishes obvious mistakes but misses deeper tricks. Sharp plays the strongest move it can find — and hides the legal-move dots entirely, so you read the board yourself.
There are no hints anywhere in Gambit. Every game is won on your own judgment.
Every rule is here: castling, en passant, promotion, check, checkmate, stalemate, repetition, and insufficient material. Follow the action in a live move list with classic notation and step-back review. Offer a draw, resign, or start a rematch with colours flipped.
Left mid-game? Gambit remembers exactly where you were, even after losing signal, so you can pick the position back up whenever you're ready.
Your first three games are free — no card and no sign-up. Spend them however you like, practice or against a friend. After that, Gambit Club unlocks unlimited games for $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. A board you have already started always stays playable.
