THE FIGHT
Each stage pits you against a legendary chess master. You play positions from their real games, evaluated by the Stockfish engine. Your HP bleeds over time — make good moves to survive, bad moves deal extra damage.
WINNING
Knock out the enemy by dealing damage with excellent moves (!! = best or near-best move). Checkmate = instant KO.
STREAKS
Consecutive excellent moves build a streak (ACCURATE → GODLIKE). Higher streaks = bigger score multiplier + HP regen.
SPEED BONUS
Play excellent moves under 2 seconds for an extra score multiplier.
STAGES
20 stages of increasingly difficult opponents. Positions get trickier, the engine judges you more harshly, and boss fights await every 5 stages.
THE SHOP
Between stages, spend gold on power-ups (Shield, Oracle, Lightning, etc.), piece upgrades (score multipliers), and permanent buffs.
ITEMS
Press 1-4 to use stored items during a fight. Shield blocks damage, Oracle shows best move, Lightning removes an enemy piece.
