Chess Roulette

Companion App to play Chess Roulette with friends and family

Chess Roulette is a game of chess where every so often, a square is chosen, and any piece that happens to be on that square is immediately removed. This can happen every 3, 5, or random amount of turns.

This does include the king, in which case, the game is over.

Full Description: This app does not play chess, match you with other chess players, or interact in many of the ways traditional chess apps do, instead it is meant to augment an IRL chess match. Much like a chess clock/timer, every time a player moves, they are supposed to touch the screen. When the player has touched it, if a new square pops up (this could happen every third, fifth, or random amount of turns, depending on the settings), any piece that is residing on the chosen square is removed from the board. Normally this includes the king, but players can decide to restrict Chess Roulette rules to not include this piece.

This can quickly turn the tide of a game and provides a sense of immediacy and randomness to chess matches.
