About Chess Peace
• A peaceful chess puzzle, played offline with no ads or account • No chess knowledge required — a new challenge for grandmasters and beginners alike • Thousands of puzzles plus a free Daily Puzzle every day • Available on iPhone, iPad & Mac, with your progress & settings synced via iCloud With over 26,500 unique puzzles across three difficulties and five different puzzle types, and a new Daily Puzzle every day, you play with just the board and six piece types — King, Queen, Rook (Castle), Bishop, Knight and Pawn — to find each satisfying solution. -- Daily Puzzles -- Build your streak by playing a new Daily Puzzle every day, share with other players via our Wordle-style solve grid, as well as a customised image showing the puzzle alongside the stats of your solve. -- Five Unique Puzzle Modes -- • Classic: One of each piece, one board, no captures. • Multiples: Some pieces are copies of each other. Same rule applies: no captures, only peace. • Two-Colour: White and black pieces share the board. Pieces only threaten the opposing colour. • Islands: Two boards, one puzzle. Only the Knight can jump the gap. • Presets: Some positions are revealed, but the pieces remain unknown. -- Find Your Zen through endless customisation -- Unprecedented personal customisation of the gameplay screen and menus, including subtly animated backgrounds, on/off toggles for nearly every visual element, and three distinct sets of gameplay sounds. Find your own Chess Peace in every puzzle, with customisation synced across devices. Also choose from many app-wide colour themes, board styles, and over 30 alternate app icons. -- Great chess learning tool, with no experience required -- If you're not a chess player, don't worry — Chess Peace teaches you everything you need to know, with a quick refresher on hand whenever you need it, as well as an optional possible moves system that shows every move possible by any piece on the board. -- Complete play history & in-depth statistics -- Replay your every solve move-by-move, and track your progress with granular statistics. Not your thing? Hide them using Zen and never seem them again. -- No data connection or account -- Everything is stored inside the app, with no connection required and no data collected. Your progress is synced via iCloud, available only to you. -- Home & Lock Screen Widgets -- Add some Chess Peace to your home and lock screens and jump straight into your next puzzle, or keep up your Daily Puzzle streak. -- Accessibility -- As well as supporting iOS Accessibility options, several additional accessibility features make Chess Peace as inclusive as possible, including colourblind mode, high contrast, bold icons, letters instead of piece icons, large text, reduced motion, and adaptable controls that can be brought to the top or bottom of the screen.

RESPONSIVE LAYOUTS • Chess Peace now adapts better to different screen sizes, layouts and orientations. • When running in landscape on iPad or Mac, many screens now use a column view, so you can see more at once. OTHER UPDATES & FIXES • Daily Puzzle widgets now change to the new puzzle at midnight, without you having to open the app. • The onboarding & tutorial look even better on smaller screens and with larger text sizes. • Fixed some small bugs for an overall smoother and more consistent experience.
