About this game
Chess Pieces. Match-3 Rules. One Brilliant Game. ChessMatch combines chess movement rules with match-3 puzzle gameplay. Swap pieces using the moves they make on a real chessboard — rooks slide across rows, bishops cut diagonals, knights leap in L-shapes — and line up three or more of the same type to clear them. 6 Chess Pieces. 6 Devastating Powers. Match 4 or more to create special black pieces. Combine two specials for spectacular chain reactions across the board. 150 Handcrafted Levels Not every level plays the same. Across 150 stages you'll encounter: Score Challenges — Reach the target score before you run out of moves. Hunts — Match specific piece types to complete the mission. Checkmate — Guide the Golden King to the bottom of the board. Siege — Destroy castle walls. Thaw — Free ice-locked pieces by matching next to them. Obscured Pieces — Hidden enemies that block your vision and cannot be swapped. Power Tiles — Glowing board squares that supercharge any piece matched on them. Stone Pieces — Hardened pieces encased in stone. Boards range from compact 4x4 grids to massive 12x12 battlefields. Watch out for gaps in the board! Combos When pieces clear and new ones fall, chain reactions happen. Trigger cascading matches for bonus points and extra moves. Use advanced tactics like Discovered Attacks, long-range Snipes, promoted Pawn plays, and Knight Forks to earn even more. 4 Ways to Play Campaign — 100 levels of escalating challenge. Earn up to 3 stars on each. Blitz — Race the clock in 1-minute, 3-minute, or 5-minute sprints. Score as high as you can before time runs out. Unlimited — No move limit. No timer. Just an infinite board and a high score to chase. Tutorial — Learn every mechanic with guided lessons at your own pace. 5 Powerful Tools Smite — Instantly destroy any piece or wall. Castle — Swap any two pieces anywhere on the board. Enchant — Transform any piece into a devastating special. Shuffle — Scramble the board for fresh possibilities. Time Warp — Add 5 bonus moves when you need them. Every tool is earned through gameplay. No purchases, no premium currency.
