About this game

Are you ready to face the ultimate challenge? Catfish Chess brings you a seamless blend of traditional strategy and mind-bending variants, powered by the Catfish and Stockfish engines. The latter is the most formidable chess creature on this planet.

Whether you're learning the basics or testing your grandmaster skills, Catfish Chess is your new home for the 64 squares.

4 Thrilling Game Modes:
Classic Chess: The pure, traditional experience. Choose the opponent that fits your skill level: The Fish is perfect for beginners, while Stockfish is ready for Grandmasters.

Bug Man: A ghostly variant where pieces hide their true nature. Test your memory: you can only see "ghosts" on the board and must remember the rest!

Mini Chess: A condensed 6x6 board in the classic Los Alamos style. Perfect for a quick, intense mental workout.

Chaos Chess: Throw the opening book out the window! This unpredictable mode tests your raw intuition. With over 13 quintillion symmetrical opening positions, there are more possibilities here than grains of sand on Earth’s beaches.

Why Catfish Chess?
A Suitable Opponent for Everyone: Our top-tier levels are calibrated to outperform any human player, while our lowest levels are designed to be beatable even for novices.

Build Your Rating: Watch your rating climb as you defeat your opponents. Ratings are updated after every game—compare your results with others and climb the Global Leaderboard!
