About Freestyle Chess
This is a two-player game 1v1 on a giant chessboard. It is turn-based – you and your opponent alternate turns, controlling the White and Black pieces.
Moving Pieces (Shooting Mechanic): On your turn, move your pieces by shooting them. Aim at one of your chess pieces and shoot it to select it.
Objective – Checkmate: Your goal is to checkmate your opponent’s king – that means trapping the enemy King so it cannot escape capture.
