About Super X Chess
Key Advantages
- 9 new chess pieces help generate more creative and exciting chess.
- Reduced draw percentage.
- Success in the game is determined more by the ability to think moves and less by preparation and memorization.
Key Features
- 3 Basic Game Modes: Super X Chess (can combine own pieces), Super960 Chess (in addition has randomized piece starting positions) and Normal Chess.
- 64 custom starting position scenarios. For example, face the Army of Dark Knights, where black player start with every possible Knight piece.
- Single player mode against customizable AI opponent. There's AI difficulty levels ranging from estimated Elo of 700 to 2200. This provides a suitable challenge for over 99% of chess players.

- 3D and 2D views.
- Tutorials.
- Ability to go through your previously played games.
- Possibility to create handicaps by creating imbalances to the starting army strengths for easier or harder challenges.
- Undo move for casual play.
Balanced Design
- If you decide to combine your pieces, then you get a stronger piece but at the same time you lose time from developing your position.
- If your opponent can constantly threat your more powerful pieces, then your providing free tempo for the opponent.
- Having less pieces can also prove to be a drawback when fighting over a critical square as then you can't pile up as many attacks to it.
Why Play It?
- Play it to appreciate your creativity, thinking, imagination, intuition and insight.
- Super X Chess is a game based on ideas emerging through systemic space. Systemic space creates new emergent properties to the system from the relationships of its lower-level components. It's what makes everything - atoms, water, love, interactivity, games, life - possible. Systemic emergence can be speculated to be behind the existence of all matter and energy. If this is true, then you have a chance to experience and understand more about the secret sauce behind the reality, life and love by playing Super X Chess.
- Crafted with love, care and sacrifices. It will also mean content updates.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
My low expectations from this game were monumentally exceeded. Highly recommended for any chess variant enthusiast. If you are skeptical, spend some time with the demo. Some of the descriptions in the tutorial could be more precise and seem to assume a certain minimal familiarity with common chess variant ideas, but the rules are logical and consistent enough that it will become clear with minimal effort. First, the variant itself seems well thought out and elegant, with good balance and interesting possibilities. The most common (and natural) fairy pieces from Capablanca, Seirawan, et al. are here, but they are combined with a few fresh ideas that make this stand out without being counterintuitive or needlessly complex. I haven't noticed any fatal flaws and it seems to have undergone a fair amount of analysis and many hundreds of hours of play by a few reasonably strong chess players. One of my pet peeves with many chess variants is that they seem to indulge in a childish desire for more and more powerful pieces. The gross expansion of material then demands a larger board (or vice versa) and on and on ab absurdum. In contrast, this variant doesn't add any material to the board,…2 found this helpful
This program has made a lasting impression on me because of the user interface : simple but very nice and ergonomic. The chess variant proposed is quite fascinating and the AI is as much powerful as you wish. A very nice thing is that you can play Regular Chess and now Chess 960 with this program. [b]Bravo to the developer for patching this game 5 years after its release ![/b]2 found this helpful
Not worth it even on sale. Buggy mess and a waste of time.2 found this helpful
The concept is cool however the online pvp doesn't work at all, tried to play with a friend and it stopped working after like 4 moves each time we tried1 found this helpful
