Checkmate is a modern chess mobile app with a user-friendly design, classical music in the background and the excitement of discovering the nuances of this wonderful board game. We have created a new version of this royal game, innovative and full of surprises. The app offers the possibility to play online with players from all over the world (for rating points) and to practice offline with a computer (without rating points). This app was born out of a fascination with chess – the game that has been moving the minds and hearts of millions of players around the world for centuries!
Some say that chess originated in India, others in Persia. In many languages, they are called differently: Chess, Scacchi, शतरंज, Échecs, Xadrez, Szachy, Schach, Ajedrez, Шахматы, Satranç, チェス, 棋, الشطرنج. We have been playing this game for over 1500 years, and today it is played in almost 200 countries around the world – and new secrets are still being discovered. People from all over the world play millions of wars every day on a 64-square chessboard – you could say that these are real games of thrones. Chess conquered the world a long time ago and its popularity is growing. We want to play our part in it!
