About Damage Chess

Chess, reimagined as HP-based combat. Every piece has HP, Attack and Defense. Take 3 actions per turn, deal randomized damage, brace for counterattacks — a tactical duel where reading and luck collide. Castling, en passant and promotion included. Battle a 4-tier CPU or friends online.

More Damage Chess Details

A chess where you don't capture — you grind them down.

Damage Chess rebuilds chess around HP, Attack and Defense. Pieces no longer fall in one hit. You chip away their HP, and only defeat them when it reaches zero. Damage is randomized, and an attacked piece may strike back. Every square becomes a gamble.

Three actions a turn — dense, deliberate play.

Instead of one move, you take three actions per turn. Advance, corner them, and strike. There is no checkmate — the first player to burn the enemy King's HP to zero wins.

Chess's special moves, weaponized.

Castle to shelter your King, stab with en passant, and choose Q/R/B/N on promotion (current HP carries over). The classic rules mesh with HP combat into something new.

Tune the luck yourself.

Damage variance, counter success rate, actions per turn, special-rule toggles — the rules are yours. You can even edit each piece's HP, Attack and Defense individually.

A CPU with real bite — and friends around the world.

Four CPU tiers: Weak / Normal / Strong / Expert. Play friends online (invite / room code, reconnection support).
