Chase The King

1 V 1 Me Bro. Checkmate is dead. In Chase The King, both kings start with no pieces and earn them by making aggressive moves. Each piece has a cost and you can throw out all the old opening moves. Challenge yourself through 100 Elo-rated difficulty levels offline, or chase real opponents online. The hunt is on. You know chess. Careful development, slow squeezes, endgames that take longer than the opening. Chase The King throws that out. Here, the enemy king is not a passive target sitting behind his pawns, He's prey, and he knows it. Every turn he can bolt, dodge, and slip through your lines. Your job is simple to say and brutal to do: run him down before he escapes. No checkmate patterns to memorize. No 40-move theory. Just you, sixteen pieces, and a king who refuses to die quietly. Every rule change in Chase The King exists to punish passivity. Turtling loses. Trading into a dead-drawn endgame loses. The players who win are the ones who commit who fling their knights forward, open lines, and close the net one square at a time. If you've ever wished chess felt more like a pursuit and less like a negotiation, this is your game. 100 Levels of Difficulty. Rated Like Real Chess Most chess games give you "Easy, Medium, Hard."
