We made everything faster and improved the overall gaming experience.

App Description

Chess, the Game of Kings. So you may be wondering why we gave our chess game a female name. But aside from the fact that we like the pun, we think that chess is actually a Game of Queens. Not only because the queen is chess' most powerful piece but because more and more women get into the game. And for good reason, since women have brought forth exceptionally strong players. Also, women love fair play, probably because they don't need to cheat in order to win. But even in case they lose, they do so with grace. Like queens do. And so Chessica is more than a chess app, it's a statement and a call to action to all the girls and women out there: Let's play chess!

Chessica comes with features you won't find in any other chess app. You can play chess along with two exiting chess variants. Join our growing chess community, learn new ways to play and improve your game. Here are the key features:

NOTE
When you download this app, you get two apps: An iOS app (that shows up on your home screen) and an iMessage app (that shows up in iMessage). The iOS app is for playing chess via Game Center where you can challenge players worldwide (including friends). The iMessage app offers an alternative way of playing chess with friends. Matches played via iMessage are not connected to matches played via Game Center, don't receive points in Game Center and no match history is recorded. Starting a match via iMessage requires the premium version, available as in-app purchase.

UNINSTALL
Uninstall the app on your home screen like any other app. The iMessage app will be removed as well.
