Chess

Master the game of kings with Chess by Little Green Studios — a beautifully designed chess app built for players of all ages and skill levels.

Challenge the AI
Take on our intelligent chess engine across 5 carefully tuned difficulty levels. Start as a Beginner with simple random moves, work your way through Easy, Medium, and Hard opponents that employ real positional strategy, and test your limits against the Expert AI that plays at full tactical depth. Each difficulty level uses advanced minimax search with alpha-beta pruning and piece-square evaluation tables to deliver a realistic and rewarding challenge.

Animated Battle Effects
Watch your pieces come alive with smooth animated movement across the board. Enable optional battle effects to see explosive particle animations on captures and pulsing warnings when your king is in check. Win a game and celebrate with a colorful confetti shower, or face the dramatic crimson vignette when the AI claims victory. All effects can be toggled on or off in settings.

Multiple Player Profiles
Create and manage multiple player profiles on a single device — perfect for families or friends who share a phone or tablet. Each profile tracks wins, losses, draws, total games played, and win rate. Choose from a selection of avatars to personalize your identity.

Global Leaderboards
Compete for the top spot on our Firebase-powered global leaderboard. See how your skills stack up against players worldwide, with the top 3 players earning gold, silver, and bronze medals.
