Really Bad Chess is really great fun

Jason Snell wrote this review of an app called Really Bad Chess. In a nutshell, it’s you against an AI, but with the chess pieces replaced, seemingly at random. So you might end up with 6 queens and only 1 pawn. Turns out the chess piece assignment is part of the Really Bad Chess handicapping process.

I downloaded the game and started playing. It is terrific fun, no matter your chess level.

Read the review, then go get the game (free with $2.99 in-app purchase to turn off ads).
