About Mini Chess
This app makes it possible to play chess variants on a smaller board. These variants have basically the same pieces and rules as standard chess, but are being played on a much smaller board. In order to adapt to each individual skill level, it is furthermore possible to configure the difficulty of the computer.
As this is just a reduced version of chess, not all of the advanced rules of standard chess are being covered. The game therefore can not end in a tie and there is no such thing as en passant or castling. You additionally have to change the rules in order to have the default winning condition of regular chess, since mini chess usually ends when the king is being captured.

Great Idea But Weak design, can't save game, can't show how strong was your move or how weak it was,

Please add Mallett 6x6, draw detection option and special rules for some (such as knight rule in L'Hermitte)

Love the games although one of them has a problem where white starts without a king and thus loses automatically

Played only the simplest of the simplest settings, and enjoyed it a lot. Great way to gain insights into the basics of chess thinking. For when you do not have the time or the energy for a full 8x8 game.

I've always enjoyed playing like this, faster, more fun and the best way to learn the game, its how Bobby Fischer wrote his book, and out of hundreds of chess apps this the only one I've seen of this style.Good Move!

The idea of the game is really good, but why the game allows illegal moves (ex. moves in chess)? Fixing the rules will result 5 stars! update: the issue has been fixed. Thank you, developers!

Great app - the developer actively responds to reviews and is working towards making the app better for tablets. Good job.

Great bite sized variations of chess. Flaw... Game loses at a stalemate even when win by checkmate is selected. Also you can be forced into endless loops against the ai without a stalemate ever being called.

I love that the app has almost all the mini-chess variations that I can think of. Sometimes I just want the movement of the pieces to be more fluid-like. Other than that, it's great that it free, but I probably would have paid for the app.

Not tablet friendly Great idea for app but tablet support sucks. Forces portrait mode and then has a tiny phone like screen. I bet this app looked cool in 2006.

Decent, but... It allows invalid moves, like putting yourself into check.
