About Check vs Mate
Check vs Mate strips chess down to its core mechanics and rebuilds it with checker-like pieces. You move on a standard 8x8 board, but the rules diverge enough from either parent game to feel fresh if you're willing to learn them. The AI opponent provides single-player challenge, though without clear difficulty settings or progression, it's hard to know what you're signing up for upfront. This is a game for people who tinker with rule variants and enjoy the math of board games more than the prestige of playing "real" chess or checkers. If you're expecting something polished or feature-rich, you'll walk away disappointed. If you're curious about weird hybrid mechanics and don't mind a rough presentation, there's something here to poke at.
