About Chess Evolved Online

The paragon of tactics is now on Steam.
Collect new chess pieces, create custom armies, and
play against others in live multiplayer PvP, ranked or practice.
500+ units to collect, including the classics. diverse abilities of melee, ranged, magic, passives, triggers, and more.
no unit is 'strictly better' than another - no 'rarity' is considered stronger.
Gameplay rewards strategy, tactics, skill, and precision.
PvP-enabled units have zero RNG of any kind.
Any form of ambiguity is resolvable and deterministic.
(heart of the cards can't save you once the match begins - even in draft mode)
ranked PvP matchmaking, PvE daily challenges, scenarios, local 2 player, and more.
Designed with intelligent visual information systems to accelerate the learning curve.
Completely utility-centric art direction that favors gameplay above screenshots.
Lightweight download, free to play, and no external signups required.
Dynamic and emergent synergies almost entirely devoid of typical archetype pitfalls.
CEO is designed to be 'easy to play', but has a near-infinite skill ceiling.
The number of possible army matchups is literally unfathomable.
(Devising strategies the world has never seen is the default here)
Guaranteed to be at least 3x more interesting than reading this description.
note:
Development for this game is recurrent and undying, but it's made by a single person.

Finally, Chess 2.13 found this helpful
ugly but surprisingly fun. Lots of nuance, and the meta progression is painful but definitely not pay-to-win1 found this helpful
It's like chess but you can pick your own pieces and create your own builds. Each game is unique and the pieces' abilities are fun. It was originally annoying that you have to use in game currency to get more pieces, but I realized it provides a really good progression loop where you are always getting rewarded for winning matches by getting new pieces. Great game1 found this helpful

chess if it got updated, unfortunately you just play against AI and always as white
Got the game while on sale for $1, it still plays well today 9/10
