Chess Variants: Chaos Setups

Break out of normal chess and play from positions that never appear in standard games.

With just a swipe, you can create strange and wild setups in seconds.

Swipe to mix your side and the CPU’s

The board is split into two halves:

- Swipe the top half to change the CPU’s starting setup

- Swipe the bottom half to change your own

- Combine them freely to create unfair, wild, or hilarious matchups

**Chess960 mode included**

You can also play Chess960, the official random-start chess variant loved worldwide.

15 presets to mix and match

You can mix and match 15 preset setups by swiping the CPU side and your side independently.

01: Even Match

02: Great Army

03: Harem (A lot of Queens)

04: Horse Owner

05: Iron Wall

06: Spy

07: Stand-by

08: Shogi-like

09: Badger-L

10: Badger-R

11: Castling (Ready-to-castle setup)

12: The Emperor (King exposed on the front line)

13: Camp

14: Pawn Road (Pawns forming a straight path)

15: Normal placement

Each setup can be combined freely, creating countless wild starting positions.

Keep the CPU normal and turn only your side into a pawn wall.

Or give yourself a queen swarm.

Or flip it. Make the CPU terrifying while you struggle to survive.

Just a few swipes create positions you’d never see in real chess.
