Chess Racer

It's always your turn to move!

Just like in chess, you may capture opposing pieces diagonally or go forward on an empty square.

Plan 3 moves ahead and move quickly or the time will run out.

Making an illegal move (if you move diagonally without capturing, or forward while another piece is in front) will result in a game loss!

Controls:

Click or Tap on a column you are on to go one square forward. Click on any another column to go diagonally in that direction.

Keyboard controls: Use arrows to move. Forward arrow to move forward, left and right arrows to capture diagonally.

How to play?

You can go forward if square in-front is empty. 
You can go diagonally only if there is an opposing piece!

You need to look ahead and think about your moves, but you also need to be quick and move as fast as possible, before your time runs out.

There are 3 clickable files (columns). 
Tap on a column to go there. 

Difficulty

There are 2 difficulty settings - Easy and Hard. Available in Settings → Difficulty

Easy - Capture pieces as you please. There always will be a valid path. You only need to look one move ahead.

Hard - You need to look 3 moves ahead. If you don't, you will eventually fall into traps with no possible moves. There is no going back, so be careful with your moves!

Time Controls

There are many time control combinations to choose from accessible in Settings → Time Control. Choose your base time and increment options to your liking. Each setting has separate high score.

Points for capturing

Each time you capture an enemy piece, you are rewarded with points. The goal of the game is to get as many points as you can.

• ♟ Pawn - 1 point
• ♞ Knight - 3 points
• ♝ Bishop - 3 points
• ♜ Rook - 5 points
• ♛ Queen - 9 points

Have fun!
