## Description

You don&#39;t start with the standard chess set. You build your own army.<br><br>Chess Draft is part army-builder, part bluff, part chess: draft your pieces<br>from a points budget, hide them on your half of the board, and the instant<br>both sides lock in, the full board is revealed — then you battle under real<br>chess rules. That blind setup, committing your whole formation with no idea<br>what your opponent is planning, is something no other chess game gives you.<br><br>HOW A MATCH WORKS<br>- DRAFT — You get a budget. Spend it your way: stack a queen and two rooks<br>  for raw power, or swarm the board with pawns and knights. Every piece has<br>  a price; every army is its own strategy.<br>- BLIND SETUP — Place your pieces anywhere on your half. Your opponent does<br>  the same, unseen. Rushing your king? Loading one flank? You&#39;re betting<br>  your whole formation on a single read.<br>- REVEAL — Both armies snap into view at once. Your read just paid off…<br>  or blew up in your face.<br>- BATTLE — Now it&#39;s chess. Full standard rules: castling, en passant,<br>  promotion. Outplay them on the board.<br><br>TWO WAYS TO PLAY<br>- CLASSIC — Balanced budget, standard piece limits. Pure draft-and-bluff.<br>- ARCADE — Break what a normal chess set even is. Bigger budgets, wild<br>  armies — field up to NINE queens, swarm with knights, or take on<br>  piece-ban challenges. Still 100% legal chess the moment the board reveals.<br><br>WHY YOU&#39;LL LIKE IT<br>- No openings to memorize — every match is a brand-new position<br>- A real test of nerve: read your opponent before a single move is made<br>- Difficulty that scales across drafting, setup AND tactics — not just<br>  engine depth<br>- Smart named AI opponents — honest practice partners, never fake &quot;players&quot;<br>- Built on a full standard-chess engine, so the endgame is the real thing<br><br>100% offline. Free to play. No ads interrupting your match. Single-player<br>vs AI, built for a quick session or a deep one.<br><br>Whether you&#39;re a chess veteran tired of memorized lines or a strategy fan<br>who loves drafting an army and outguessing an opponent, Chess Draft is a<br>fresh take on the oldest game of tactics.<br><br>Build. Hide. Reveal. Win.<br>(Online multiplayer and tournaments are on the way.)
