About this game

Chess Nine transforms classic chess movement into a compact logic puzzle. Rearrange the king, queen, rook, bishop, and knight on a 3×3 board to match the target position in as few moves as possible.
Every piece follows familiar chess movement rules, but there are no captures. With only nine squares, every move matters. Plan ahead, open routes, coordinate pieces, and discover the optimal solution.
400 PUZZLES, ONE COMPLETE JOURNEY
Work through 400 built-in chess puzzles across 20 themed chapters. Begin with approachable routes, then advance through deeper multi-move challenges designed to test logic, calculation, and spatial thinking.
