About
Chess built for your controller
Pick up a controller, choose your opponent, and get straight to the board. Pawn’d Chess brings capable computer opponents and useful chess tools together in a game that’s easy to pick up and play.
Find your next challenge
Play against human-like CPU opponents powered by Maia, with difficulty settings from 600 to 2600 Elo. Choose a comfortable match or push yourself further. Track your local rating in ranked games, or settle into untimed Practice Mode.
Make yourself comfortable
Adjust text size, board colors, piece styles, and UI contrast. Choose monochrome visuals, a light or dark interface, and narration options. Play with a controller, keyboard, mouse, or touch.
Try another idea
Undo and redo moves in Practice Mode to explore different continuations. Build your own positions with the full position editor, import or copy FEN, and save favorites to revisit later.
For a game together, play local hotseat on one device.
