When Chaos Becomes a Feature

Knight Chase: The Chaos Chess Masterclass
Structured Randomness
Mystery box power-ups come from a known set (Ruler, Compass, Eraser, Teleport, Freeze). Players know the possibilities — creating informed risk-taking.
Chaos Events With Strategic Impact
Coffee Spill, Sabotage, Invisible Ink affect both players equally, testing adaptive thinking rather than determining outcomes.
Deterministic Core
Beneath the chaos: knight movement, blocked squares, and win conditions are fully predictable. Chaos enhances without undermining.
