Description
Enjoy a deep chess experience – solo or online – with Just Chess!
Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, Just Chess has everything you need. Sharpen your skills against a smart AI in a modern 3D environment, or challenge the world with the new Lichess integration.
Key Features:
Built-in Chess Engine – Play offline instantly using the game's internal chess engine, no setup required.
UCI Engine Support – Take your game to the next level by connecting any external chess engine that supports the UCI protocol, such as Stockfish. Play against opponents at – and even beyond – grandmaster strength.
NEW: Engine vs Engine (EvE) – Curious to see which engine is stronger? Set up a match between two UCI chess engines of your choice and watch the battle unfold. Includes configuration options for engine threads and hash size.
Lichess Integration – Log in to your Lichess account directly from the game!
3D Chessboard – With an adjustable viewing angle.
Flip & Reset View – Use F to flip the board and R to reset it to your playing side.
Chess Clocks & Time Controls – Play timed games with popular formats like Bullet (1+0), Blitz (5+3), Rapid (10+5), and Classical (30+0, 90/40). Time controls under 10 minutes are supported with both the built-in and UCI chess engines. Untimed mode is also available.
2D and 3D Chess Clocks – Switch between practical 2D and immersive 3D clock views using the C key. 3D clocks show remaining time as a circular diagram.
Adjustable Move Speed – Customize how fast the built-in or UCI chess engine plays its moves for a more relaxed or time-pressured experience. Combine with difficulty settings for a personalized challenge.
Easy to Play – Simple controls and an intuitive interface.
Adaptive AI Strength – Both the built-in and UCI chess engines can automatically adjust their strength based on your wins and losses, ensuring a balanced challenge.
PGN Export and Analysis – The game allows you to copy the chess game in PGN format to the clipboard and analyze it on online chess analysis websites. Online analysis may require an account with the analysis service provider.
