Wow, I have been looking for something like this for years! I've found it because I was bored, so I started exploring recently updated games in the shop. The game is quite new and I hope the developers will continue keeping it up-to-date over the years to come.

Actually it has been a long time since I've last played chess. Here is a good opportunity to start again. The graphics is good for the purpose. For me, it's the best graphics I've ever seen for a chess game. You can actually put it on max details and 4k, as framerate doesn't matter. Seriously. Even if you downsample 4k on a 1080p monitor, it still looks amazing.

I haven't tested the VR mode yet, but I don't think I'm really interrested. Maybe I'll try it sometime. I find it more relaxing on my big monitor or with Steam Link on my TV anyway. While your opponent is thinking, you can do other things simultaneously. There is a notification function, when it comes to your turn again.

The game has a good soundtrack and it isn't annoying. Actually it calms you down, so you can concentrate on the game. You could enjoy it, with a glass of wine after work. ;)

There is great potencial to make more people start playing chess again, which is (IMHO) the best turn based strategy game ever invented! Easy to learn, hard to master.

When you want to play online, better take some time with you. That's how chess is supposed to be played. It's all about thinking, till your brain gets muscles. :D
