About

Chess With Friends lets you play traditional chess matches against other players at your own pace. Choose to challenge friends or strangers and take turns over days or hours. The pass and play option adds local multiplayer support for quick face to face games. Simple controls and familiar rules make it easy to jump into classic strategy battles. The game ran for over 14 years before shutting down in 2023. While no longer available on app stores, it maintained a steady player base through much of the 2010s. Community forums show many users appreciated the casual asynchronous format that fit around real life schedules. Simple design and reliable performance helped it last through multiple smartphone generations.
