More about this game
Revenge Chess: Chain Reaction is a turn-based strategy game that adds a twist to traditional chess. The goal is to checkmate or capture the enemy king. The core loop involves moving pieces according to standard chess rules, but with a major difference: when a piece is captured, it triggers a death rattle and attacks the highest-value enemy piece in its range. This can cause chain reactions of up to 12 captures. The game ends when a king is taken, checkmated, or if a stalemate occurs.
Tips
- A captured piece will always target the highest-value enemy piece it can reach, so position your valuable pieces carefully.
- Pawns promote to Queens when they reach the opposite end of the board.
- Use the Undo button if a chain reaction doesn't go as planned, but remember the opponent will respond immediately after your move.
Questions
How do death rattles work?
When a piece is captured, it immediately attacks the highest-value enemy piece within its normal movement range before leaving the board.
Can death rattles cause a chain reaction?
Yes, if a death rattle captures another piece, that piece will also trigger its own death rattle. This chain can continue up to 12 times.
How do I win the game?
You win by either checkmating the enemy king or capturing it directly. The game ends immediately when a king falls.
