About this game

Welcome to Chess960: Fresh Moves, a new twist on the classic chess game you can play on your phone. This game changes up the starting line-up of the chess pieces, making every match different and exciting.

Bobby Fischer, a famous chess player, came up with Chess960 in the late 1990s. He wanted to make chess fun again by mixing up where the pieces start. This means players need to think of new strategies every time they play, not just remember old moves.

Ratings and reviews

There's no rule implemented that draws the game when three-fold repetition occurs (nor, I assume, is the 50-move rule implemented), making some games impossible to complete without using the undo button. I would hope the game recognizes stalemates at least but I haven't gotten any yet. You can't call yourself a proper chess app if you haven't implemented all of the rules of the game. Other than that it's pretty fun; there aren't a lot of options for chess960 apps.

really bad for beginners. Level 1 (the easiest) is so easy that even as a beginner you can win without losing a piece, no problem. Level 2 you get get annihilated by the AI every time you make a mistake. You do that a lot as a beginner so there is no room for progress. It is easy win or you get f**ked. No room for evolvement. As a beginner not recommended. There is only baby level or expert level

I am pleasantly surprised at the strength of the ai. It's better than the 960 bots on Chess dot com. This is a good app. Anyone who enjoys 960 should appreciate it. It may not appeal to chess beginners. Even on the easy setting, it is a strong opponent. If beginners stick with it though, I think it would definitely improve their skills.
