About this game

Every turn ends with light.

LazrChess is a free laser-strategy board game. Move or rotate your mirrored pieces — then your laser fires automatically, bouncing across the 8×10 board until it hits something. Steer the beam into the enemy King while shielding your own, and remember: one careless rotation can turn your own attack into a self-inflicted loss.

Most strategy games ask where your pieces are. LazrChess asks where the light goes.

THREE BATTLEFIELDS
• Classic — the traditional laser-chess opening setup
• Refraction — mirrors packed near the center for tight, fast engagements
• Spectrum — deflectors spread wide, opening long-range beam corridors
Or hit the dice and let the game pick one at random.

PLAY YOUR WAY
• Single player vs AI — four difficulty tiers, from a gentle Easy up to Hard. A coin flip decides who moves first.
• BRADFORDai — beat Hard to unlock a hidden, tougher opponent with a personality all its own.
• Online multiplayer — create a game, share a four-character code, and play a friend anywhere in real time. Drop your connection? The game reconnects and puts you right back in.
• Pass and play — two players, one device, zero setup.

EASY TO LEARN, HARD TO PUT DOWN
Deflectors bounce the beam, Defenders block it head-on, Switches swap places with other pieces and reflect on both faces. Learn the pieces in minutes; spend much longer learning what the light will do.

BUILT FOR EVERYONE
• Full keyboard navigation — play an entire game without a mouse
• Color-blind mode with piece badges, for every type of color vision
• Reduced-motion option
• Screen-reader announcements for turns and wins

NO CATCHES
Free. No ads. No accounts. No tracking. Just lasers.
