Chess, but every game fits in your coffee break.<br><br>Mini Chess packs 25 chess variants onto boards from 4×4 to 6×6. Fewer squares means faster games — but every move counts double. One slip on a 20-square board and the game is over.<br><br>PLAY THE CLASSICS<br>Take on variants with real history: Gardner&#39;s minichess, Los Alamos chess (the first board a computer ever played against a human, in 1956), Petty Chess from 1930, Silverman, Microchess, Demi-chess and more — plus original layouts you won&#39;t find anywhere else.
