Chess for Two: Local Duel

Chess for Two is a head-to-head chess game for two Android phones. One player taps "Create room" to get a room number, the other taps "Find room" and picks that number. That's it: no internet, no account, no pairing. The phones connect directly to each other over Bluetooth, so you can play even where there is no signal. Break time, a trip, a cafe, or while you wait: play a quick game face to face with a friend or family member, each on your own phone. HOW TO PLAY 1. One player taps "Create room". A big 4-digit room number appears. 2. The other player taps "Find room" and picks the same number from the rooms found nearby. 3. As soon as the phones connect, the game starts. Who plays White in the first game is decided at random. The board is turned so that your side is always at the bottom (it rotates when you play Black). 4. Tap one of your pieces to see where it can go, then tap the destination. You can also drag a piece on the board and release it. 5. When a pawn reaches the last rank, you choose a queen, rook, bishop or knight. 6. When the game ends you see the result (win, loss or draw) and the reason. If both players tap "Rematch", the next game starts with the colours swapped. FEATURES - No internet, no account, no pairing - Connect just by choosing a room number - Full standard chess rules: piece moves, castling, en passant and promotion (queen, rook, bishop or knight) - Moves that leave your king in check are not allowed, and "Check!" is shown when you are in check - Checkmate, stalemate and insufficient material are detected automatically - Draws by threefold repetition and the 50-move rule can be claimed; fivefold repetition and the 75-move rule end the game as a draw automatically - Offer a draw, or resign (with a confirmation dialog) - If you try an illegal move, a short message tells you why (not your turn, you must answer the check...) - Legal destinations are highlighted, so beginners can play with confidence - Move sound, and a short vibration on the opponent's move, with a sound on/off switch - If the connection drops, the position stays as it was. Rejoin the same room and continue where you left off - Available in English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean (follows your device language) FREE AND PRO The free version has every gameplay feature and shows ads: - Banner ads: at the bottom of the home, waiting and room-list screens; at the top of the game screen, away from the board - A full-screen ad: only after a finished game, when you tap "Rematch" or "Home".
