Campaign and Case Stages
Choose Start to play the 50-stage AI campaign, or Case Stages for 30 tactical chess puzzles. Local AI and puzzles work without an internet connection. Each Case Stage awards one diamond on its first clear; repeat clears do not award more, and retries are free. Stages 51–100 are marked Coming Soon.
Nearby battles
Open Nearby VS on both devices. One player creates a room and the other selects it. Grant the nearby-device permissions requested by your Android version, then compare and confirm the same verification code on both screens. Keep Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled and devices nearby. If connection fails, leave the session and create a new room. Nearby play does not require an account.
Diamonds and optional rewards
Undo and Hint each cost one diamond when used; the on-screen controls show the cost and availability. Recharge offers two diamonds after a completed rewarded ad. The optional bonus race grants two diamonds on completion, with three additional diamonds only if you choose and complete its reward ad. Collecting stars during the race does not award diamonds individually. You can skip the race before it starts. Cosmetic skins also use diamonds.
Sound, haptics and controls
The game uses a 2D board. Use the sound and phone-vibration icons to adjust music and haptics, and check your Android media volume. Select a piece, then a highlighted legal destination. The Resign button lets you end a campaign game quickly. Menu provides access to other game options.
Saved progress and advertising choices
Progress and preferences are stored on this device. Clearing app storage or uninstalling removes local data, and Android backup is disabled. There is no account-based cloud synchronization.
Use Ad privacy settings to review the choices available for your region. A blank banner space or unavailable reward may mean there is no eligible ad or the device is offline. You can keep playing local chess and puzzles without an ad. See the Android privacy policy for advertising and nearby-connection details.
