About this game

Chess: Fog of War is chess with hidden information — the legendary Dark Chess variant. Your vision is limited to the squares your pieces can reach. Every move reveals something new, and hides something else. Scouts matter. Ambushes happen. The part of the board you can't see is the part that decides the game.

FACE THE ORACLE
An AI built for the fog. Three levels — Apprentice, Strategist and Grandmaster — from a friendly sparring partner to a deep multi-core engine that models what it cannot see and hunts you through the darkness.

FIVE WAYS TO PLAY
• The Duel — pass & play fog chess, each player sees only their own vision
• Face the Oracle — fog chess vs the AI
• Timed Duel — add a chess clock, vs AI or a friend
• Classic Chess — traditional full-information chess, PvP or vs AI

MAKE IT YOURS
• 11 hand-crafted board themes with live previews
• 4 piece sets: Classic, Wooden, Dark Fantasy and Retro pixel art
• 4 fog effects: Mist, Void, Cloud and Parchment
• Smooth animations, haptic feedback and an optional match announcer

AFTER THE GAME

FOG OF WAR RULES
• You see the squares your pieces occupy, defend or can move to
• Capture the enemy King to win — there is no checkmate in the dark
• Slide into a hidden enemy and your piece stops and captures it
• Run out of legal moves and you lose, so keep your options open

What’s new

- THE REVEAL: when a fog game ends, watch it back with the fog lifted. See the pieces that were hiding, the threats you never knew about, and how close you really came.
- The Oracle AI is much stronger at every difficulty. Apprentice now plays gently in Classic mode too, instead of at full strength.
- Fixed the turn indicator, "Forfeit", the move counter and piece names, which were mistranslated in most languages.
- Now supports Android 8.0 and newer.
