About NogChess
NogChess is a new chess-inspired strategy game built on the logic of classic chess — expanded to a 9x10 board with three new pieces and fresh tactical possibilities. Classic chess thinking. New territory. NogChess keeps the familiar goal of chess: protect your king, coordinate your pieces, create threats, and checkmate your opponent. But the game begins from a new starting point: a larger 9x10 board, new piece interactions, and positions that are not dominated by memorized opening theory. What makes NogChess different: • A new 9x10 board with 90 squares • Three new pieces: Super-Pawn, Guard Knight, and Prince • Fresh tactical and strategic patterns • Offline local play for two players on one device • Online game search • Interactive board for practice and analysis • Built-in rules and explanations for new pieces • Game history for reviewing previous matches The new pieces add depth while staying close to the spirit of chess: Super-Pawn A stronger pawn that can move diagonally forward, creating new pawn structures and tactical ideas. Guard Knight A knight-based piece with expanded attacking possibilities, designed for a larger board. Prince A powerful new piece that brings additional mobility and strategic balance to the game. NogChess is designed for players who love calculation, creativity, and strategic discovery. It gives chess players a fresh field to explore — where memorized openings matter less, and original thinking matters more. Start as a guest, learn the rules, explore the 9x10 board, and begin your first NogChess game.
