A casual chess game providing all the strategy and challenge of chess in a fraction of the time.
MiniChess is designed to provide fun, quick games of chess on 6x6 boards. Perfect for a coffee break or a commute, full games are played in around 5-10 minutes.
MiniChess has 6 different board layouts for a range of game play options and 3 different levels of AI to match your skill level.
Simple and addictive with a persistent win - lose - draw record to keep track of your score.
The standard rules of chess have the following modifications to adapt to the smaller board:
* No pawn double move, and therefore no en passant capture.
* No castling
* Pawns automatically promote to Queens.
