3D Chess

3D Chess presents the familiar board game with a choice of computer difficulty or a shared-device match with a friend. Seven difficulty settings make it useful for gradually increasing the challenge as you become more comfortable planning moves. Chess rewards noticing threats as much as creating them, so take time to examine what your opponent's last move changed. Choose this for a longer, deliberate game where developing pieces and protecting your king matter from the opening onward.

3D Chess: useful things to know

This version is suited to local chess with a friend or practice against a computer whose difficulty you can choose.

Can two friends use one device for 3D Chess?

Yes. The publisher specifically describes challenging a friend on the same device. That is the documented option for local play; the other listed opponent is the computer.

How should a new player choose the computer difficulty?

There are seven documented difficulty choices. Start with a setting that lets you understand the computer's replies, then increase it when those positions feel manageable. The publisher does not give an Elo rating for the levels, so do not treat them as rated opponents.
