About Simple Chess
Take no prisoners, and at all costs, defend your King's honour! This 3D Chess game is the finest way to enjoy the traditional board game of Chess on your Android device! It is a two-player strategy board game performed on a checkered surface with 64 squares organized in an 88 grid on which two players compete for victory. Each player starts with 16 pieces, including a king, queen, rooks, knights, bishops, and eight pawns. The game is played with a king and a queen as the starting pieces. To checkmate an opponent's King, one must place it in an unavoidable state of danger, such that it cannot escape capture.
It's a straightforward puzzle game that gets out of your way and lets you play. Pick it up for a short break or settle in for a while — it runs well on phone, tablet, and desktop alike.
A couple of things help once you get going: Watch for combos: clearing pieces in chains usually scores more than chasing the timer. When you are stuck, undo the last move and look at the board again instead of forcing a fix.
