A hundred chess games on Steam. One of them gives you 40 AI opponents up to 2550 Elo, live open lobbies, async play, a league mode, a mini board that sits on your desktop and lessons that turn beginners into threats. You already know which one this is.

Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 27 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Most chess apps teach you the basics and leave you hanging. Most chess games are fun but won't make you better. Chess Kingdom does both. Whether you've never touched a chess board or you're looking for your next real challenge, this is where you grow.
START ANYWHERE. KEEP IMPROVING.
Six structured training campaigns take you from absolute beginner to advanced player, each focused on a specific part of the game. Piece movement. Tactics. Openings. Middlegame strategy. Endgames. Deep calculation. Hand-crafted lessons and puzzles, carefully ordered so every concept builds on the last. No guessing what to study next. No jumping in the deep end. Just clear, satisfying progress with star ratings, XP, and titles to show for it.
CLIMB THE LEAGUE
League Mode is a football-style division system with 6 tiers, from Wooden Shield to Diamond Crown. Play a full season against the AI opponents in your division. Finish 1st to promote. Finish last and face relegation. Earn trophies, collect stars, and climb your way to the top. Win Division 1 and you unlock a 2-game showdown against Phantom, the hidden League Champion. Can you claim the crown?
THEN COMES THE REAL TEST
Training and League are just the beginning. Chess Kingdom gives you every reason to keep playing.
40 AI opponents, each with a distinct personality, playstyle, and country. From Daisy the friendly beginner to Titan the ruthless master, and two secret opponents to unlock.
Tournaments. Single Elimination, Round Robin, Swiss. Climb a bracket. Prove your ranking.
Elimination Mode. Win or go home. One loss ends your run. How far can you get?
Async Online Multiplayer. Challenge friends via Steam and make your move whenever you're ready. No need to be online at the same time.
Daily Puzzles and Puzzle Rush. Stay sharp every day.
Play Kung Fu Chess: a real-time mode where both players move at the same time with no turns, or go Extreme and earn buffs, unlock power tiers, and unleash double moves by playing aggressively.
Atomic Chess: a tactical new variant where every capture detonates a 3×3 explosion, kings can't capture, and blowing up the enemy king wins the game instantly.
Game Analysis. See exactly where you won or lost, move by move.
MAKE IT YOURS
Choose your country from more then 40 nations, each with a unique piece set inspired by that country's culture and art. Indian Mughal pieces. Japanese Shogi-influenced designs. Dutch Delft-style boards. Your flag in your profile. Your style on the board. Unlock more as you level up through 100 player levels: piece sets, board themes, backgrounds, and titles earned through real progress.
BUILT TO GROW WITH YOU
Chess Kingdom is built by a solo developer using AI-assisted development, which means faster updates, more content, and the ability to act quickly on what the community asks for. New country skins, training content, and features are added regularly. Your feedback directly shapes what comes next.

一款UI比较粗糙但是玩法还是挺全面的国际象棋游戏。比较难能可贵的是本作有着一套完善的教学,可以跟着引导“从零开始精通国际象棋”。当然老手可以直接跳过与AI进行对战,赛制上采用了分区系统,第一名晋级,最后一名降级,过关闯将以及各种谜题残局还是有一定的难度的。游戏支持本地双人对战,但是在线对战模式我这边一直显示“无法连接服务器”,无法测试。另外引导模式里有大量的未汉化内容,希望修正。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游,始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]
Takes a lot to start in an ROG Ally with SteamOS (more demanding games play flawlessly), and once loaded its impossible to play since controls are a mess, could not create a profile unless attaching a mouse, and to make it worse the cursor was invisible. buttons overlap UI.

It's everything you could hope for in a chess game, with frequent updates. You will find some bugs or errors but it's also one person who made the best chess game for learners, those familiar with chess, or masters of the craft, and sells it for $5, cheaper than some competition, so cut them a wee bit o' slack.
I have trouble with the pieces, very difficult to distinghuish between the type of pieces. Wonder why there are no pieces that look like pieces in any normal chess book, but only very small pieces that look very much teh same pawn, queen, rook, king. And erelative much too small for the field. Makes playing chess very very very annoying. Chess Kingdom is more a toy, not a real chess game
Yep I like it! It is intuitive and easy to use, many options for training, choosing different strengths / ai opponents + chat. Calm atmosphere. Board and pieces are supernice. Would be nice if there also was chess 960, and perhaps my own invention: Royal Pawn Chess with 4 royal-pawns which can move and capture like kings on c2/f2 and c7/f7.
i think this is the best chess game left on steam. For real.
I thought i knew how to play chess but after playing this it turns out my knowledge is actually very limited. This game will teach me all the moves i had never even heard of and hopefully turn me into a chess master or at least someone who actually knows how to play and can give people a good game and defeat beginners like i was before i started playing this. Awesome chess game, really simple to use just fantastic!!!
Amazing value for money, must buy
Chess Kingdom delivers a really well-rounded chess experience for players of all skill levels. Its built-in tutorial system is fantastic, guiding total newcomers step by step to learn chess rules and tactics, while veteran players can instantly jump into battles against AI opponents. The ranked tier progression and tricky endgame puzzles add tons of replay value. The local two-player mode works flawlessly if you want to play chess with a friend on the same device. That said, there are two frustrating flaws holding this game back. First, the online multiplayer is effectively dead on arrival. No matter how many times I tried, the online mode keeps showing the error "Cannot connect to server". I cannot create multiplayer rooms at all, which means the entire online play feature is inaccessible. It’s a massive disappointment for a chess game where online matches are such an important part of the fun. Second, large portions of the tutorial and guide content are still unlocalized. Many texts have no Chinese translation, creating hurdles for Chinese players learning from the in-game lessons. I sincerely hope the developer can look into these issues. Please fix the server connection bug so players can create rooms and enjoy online matches, and complete the Chinese localization for all tutorial texts. If you only want offline practice, AI matches and chess puzzles, Chess Kingdom is a solid pick. But if you come for online chess battles, you will be let down by the broken server connection and missing room creation function.
Genau richtig für jemanden wie mich, um nach Jahren der Abstinenz wieder zurück in das Spiel und seine Feinheiten abzutauchen. Ob KI hin oder her, auch die will erstmal beherrscht werden, ein sehr schön Spiel. Danke an den Entwickler.
