Classic and Quick modes, arenas and a computer opponent
Matches run in two modes. Classic Chess is the slower format, and Quick Chess is the faster one. Several arenas offer different match prizes, and a leaderboard ranks players against each other.
You can invite friends, chat with other players and exchange gifts. Offline play is supported through a computer mode, so a match does not always need a connection. The listing also mentions daily rewards, daily missions, a Golden Box draw, collectible chess sets and a season pass for premium items.
The description includes a short rules refresher for each piece, which suits newer players. Daily puzzles and challenges are listed as coming soon, not as a current feature.
Android 7.0 and what to expect
Chess Clash needs Android 7.0 or newer. It is free, but the game contains ads and in-app purchases, which Google Play says include random items.
