About Mini Chess
Mini Chess brings 25 chess variants to boards from 4×4 to 6×6 — classics like Gardner, Los Alamos and Petty Chess alongside original layouts. Every game is a sharp, tactical duel that fits in a few minutes: beat the AI to unlock the next board, earn a star for each difficulty you clear, and climb the leaderboard by collecting the most stars. Each board comes with a short note on its history, and an in-game rules card tells you exactly what applies. Four difficulty levels, undo, Korean and English.
How to play Mini Chess
You play White and always move first. Tap a piece to see its legal moves, then tap a highlighted square to move. Capture the enemy king or checkmate it to win.
Each board has its own layout — check the Rules button to see whether pawns may double-step and what counts as a draw. Pawns promote when they reach the last rank; there is no castling or en passant.
Win once on a board to unlock the next one in its group, and clear a higher difficulty on the same board to earn more stars. Use Undo to take back your last move; when you run out, watch a short ad for one more.
