How to play Knight ChaseA familiar move.
A familiar move.
A different
kind of chess.
No openings to memorise. No army to manage. Just you, your rival, and a board that remembers where you’ve been.
Leave a mark.
The square you leave becomes blocked. Every move changes the routes available to both players.
Close their last way out.
Capture your rival or leave them without a legal move. Sometimes the best attack is a well-placed trap.
Small board. Long game.Don’t just see a square.
Don’t just see a square.
See what comes next.
Knight Chase turns the chess knight’s movement into a battle for space. The clever part is deciding what to leave behind.
Count your exits.
A tempting jump is no use if it leaves you stranded. Check where you can go next—and where your rival can follow.
Build the trap.
Seal useful squares and guide your rival into a smaller space. Your trail can do more damage than a direct chase.
Keep a surprise.
Power-ups can open a route, freeze a turn, or change how you move. Save the right tool for the moment it matters.

Before your first moveA few good
A few good
questions.
Do I need to know how to play chess?
No. You only need the knight’s L-shaped movement: two squares in one direction, then one to the side. Interactive lessons introduce the movement, escape routes, and trapping. You do not need to memorise chess openings.
How do I win a duel?
Capture your rival by landing on their square, or trap them so they have no legal move. Each square you leave becomes sealed, so the board changes as you play. Adventure levels have their own objectives.
What can I play?
Explore 116 adventure levels across 14 chapters, face AI opponents with three styles and difficulty settings, practise with undo and hints, or challenge a friend with pass-and-play. Online multiplayer is also available.
