Frequently Asked Questions
How do I play with a friend online?
Tap the refresh icon (New Game) → choose Online → tap "Create Game". Share the 6-letter code with your friend. They tap "Join Game" and enter the code. The game starts automatically when they join.
What is piece shifting?
After making a chess move on any board, you may "shift" one of your non-king pieces to an adjacent board. The destination square must be empty. Shifting is circular — a piece on the top board can wrap to the bottom board and vice versa. You can skip the shift if you prefer.
How do I win?
Capture all of your opponent's kings. Each player has one king per board (up to 3 kings total). Capturing a king scores 1 point. The game ends when one player loses all their kings — the player with more king captures wins.
What is the difference between 2-board and 3-board mode?
In 2-board mode there are 2 kings per player and shift wraps directly between the two boards. In 3-board mode there are 3 kings per player and shift moves through all three levels circularly. Choose when starting a new game.
Can kings be shifted between boards?
No. Kings can never be shifted. Only non-king pieces can be moved between boards during the shift phase.
The online game is not connecting — what should I do?
Make sure both players have an active internet connection. Double-check the 6-letter code is entered correctly (it is case-insensitive). If the problem persists, start a new game and share a fresh code.
How do I change the board theme?
Tap the palette icon in the top-right corner of the main screen. Choose from 6 themes: Midnight Ocean, Gothic Crimson, Emerald Forest, Classic Wood, Purple Night, and Arctic Ice.
