About TumbleChess: 3D Chess
Play chess your way with TumbleChess. Meet across a classic 2D board or explore a 3D board with adjustable views. Choose your board and pieces, set a game length, and turn on playful reactions for a little extra personality. PLAY TOGETHER Share an invitation for a private game, challenge friends by player code, or join the online matchmaking queue. BUILD YOUR RATING Play ranked Blitz and Rapid games, find opponents near your level, and work toward the club rankings. Ratings start provisional while you find your level. Friend games, computer practice, and untimed games stay casual. FIND YOUR LEVEL Choose from ten computer difficulty levels. Start easy, build confidence, and move the slider up when you want a tougher opponent. KEEP YOUR GAMES Sign in to save your games and replay the moves. Guest play is available without an account. PRACTICE OFFLINE Use the native practice board against the computer or pass your device between two players. Legal move hints, undo, board flipping, coordinates, and a saved local game help you pick up where you left off. Online games, account history, and the full 3D experience require an internet connection. Offline practice is untimed and stored on the device.
