COMBAT CHESS
Guide · Vs CPU · 2P · tutorial
Combat Chess is standard chess with military battlefield themes. Play against the computer or a local second player, and use the built-in tutorial if you are rusty.
Goal
Checkmate the opponent. You command the near side (US forces in the default framing); the CPU plays the far side and moves first in vs-computer games.
Controls
- Tap or click a piece, then a legal destination square.
- Choose Easy / Medium / Hard for CPU strength; pick Desert, City, Forest, or Tundra boards from the splash screen.
- Open How to Play on the splash for piece movement and rules pages.
Tips
- Develop minor pieces before launching lone queen raids.
- On Easy, practice patterns; on Hard, expect sharper replies to hanging pieces.
- Two-player mode is perfect for a shared device — no account needed.
Combat Chess is an original presentation of chess for the Ten Second Games arcade hub.
