Mini Chess Games is a set of chess games for kids that teaches chess one piece at a time.

A SAFE PLACE TO LEARN
No adverts. No in-app purchases or upsells. No tracking: nothing about you or your child leaves the phone. No daily streaks, reminders or rewards for coming back. No account and no sign-in. Just a child, a board and the next puzzle.

LEARN THE PIECES
Instead of starting with a full game, kids learn chess from a single piece on the board and a goal square to reach. Solve the maze in the fewest moves and you know how that piece moves for life. There are mazes for the king, queen, rook, bishop, knight and pawn, each in easy, medium and hard.

Then two quick drills, again for every piece:
• Spot the Capture: tap every piece the white piece could take
• Spot the Attackers: tap every black piece that could take your king

MINI GAMES
Each one uses just a couple of pieces, so the rules stay small, but you play against a computer opponent that gets tougher as you level up:
• Rook vs 5 Pawns: get a pawn past the rook
• Lonely Knight: get a pawn past the knight
• Pawn Wars: eight pawns each, first to the far side wins
• Pawns vs 2 Bishops: sneak one pawn past two bishops
• 2 Bishops vs Pawns: play the bishops and stop all eight pawns
• Kings vs Knight: catch the knight with three kings
• Knight vs Kings: survive 15 moves against three kings
• Radioactive Pooping Knights: don't get trapped by the poop

REAL CHESS
Full rules and a real chess engine:
• Checkmate with King and Queen
• Checkmate with King and Rook: the trickier one
• Checkmate with King and 2 Rooks: the ladder mate
• Army games: play your full army of sixteen pieces against the computer's king, pawns and a growing set of extra pieces, from a single knight up to a queen. Ten steps from beginner to a full game.

TROPHIES
Every maze, drill and game has its own badge. Win it for a silver star, win without pressing undo for a gold one, and turn every star gold to finish the badge. The trophies page shows what has been earned so far, and a details page lists every star with its date for the grown-ups.

Made for kids who are just starting to learn chess, and for the grown-ups teaching them.
