Bennett Foddy's Speed Chess

About

Bennett Foddy's Speed Chess reimagines chess as a chaotic free-for-all. Sixteen players battle at the same time no one waits for their turn everyone moves instantly. Swap control of any piece whenever you want as the board spirals into mayhem. It strips away traditional pacing and strategy replacing it with frantic decision making and luck. The game assumes no one cares about rules like checkmate or piece value just who can react fastest. This experimental title was made for public festival play not home setups. No menus or instructions just plug in 16 controllers and hope for the best. It crashes often and looks rough but that's part of the charm. Players on PC forums call it a "controlled explosion" with one noting "it's chess if your brain short circuits." Works best with friends but even solo play feels like being trapped in a hyperactive squirrel's mind.
