About Chessplode
Chessplode is chess with a twist: when you capture a piece, every piece in the same row and column explodes, unless a king is on that line. One move can change the whole game.
It keeps the moves you already know but makes the game unpredictable and fun, even if you are bad at chess. If you liked weird chess games such as Really Bad Chess, this is for you.
Play real-time online matches with people around the world and send an emoji with each move, play two players on one device, practise against the AI Ziri, or solve puzzle levels made by other players and build your own.
