ANSWERS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION

Chess Peace gameplay guide and player questions

App Store edition · Researched Nov 8, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 8, 2026.

Our guidance

How do I learn the rules if I have never played chess before?

You do not need prior experience. The game includes a quick refresher guide accessible whenever you need it. Additionally, you can enable the optional possible moves system, which highlights every valid move for any piece currently on the board.

Source facts

What is the difference between the Classic and Multiples puzzle modes?

In Classic mode, you play with exactly one of each of the six piece types on a single board. Multiples mode follows the same peaceful, no-capture rules, but includes boards where some pieces are copies of each other.

Our guidance

Can I customize the visual interface to make the game more accessible?

Yes, the game offers extensive accessibility options. You can enable high contrast, bold icons, or use letters instead of piece icons. You can also adapt controls to the top or bottom of the screen to suit your personal preference.

What’s new in 1.2.6.

Thank you to everyone who got in touch about the app freezing and crashing, your reports really helped me track down the issues! If anything still isn’t right, please get in touch by hitting Send Feedback in the app, or emailing hello@chesspeace.app.

UPDATES & FIXES
• Fixed the app freezing when opening a puzzle pack.
• Fixed the app freezing when opening a solve in Play History.
• Fixed the app closing when opening a puzzle in portrait.
• Overlay cards, like the one when you finish a puzzle, are centred again when playing in landscape.
• On iPhone Duo, the status bar is now hidden, so the app uses the full width of the screen in full screen and Split View. You can turn it back on in Zen.
