A physical chess table. A rival sitting across from you. And a choice: play it straight, or bring a little chaos.
Chess Duel puts you in an atmospheric 3D setting with animated hands, captured pieces at the side of the board and a Board Focus Mode when you need a clearer view. Challenge a Steam friend, practise against 20 AI levels or compete in separate Classic and Chaos ranked ladders.
