BreakKnight
Chess with personality, above the clouds.
Full chess on a board floating above the clouds, with pieces that blink, flinch and shatter. Climb a ladder of six rivals who each play their own way, race the clock in Blitz, chase a Puzzle Rush score, solve the daily mate in two, or send moves to a friend as links. No accounts.

How it plays
Pick it up in a minute.
- Six rivals to climbPip pushes pawns, Sir Flapjack hops knights, Madame Gale attacks, Old Bastion builds walls, The Lantern looks ahead, and Aurelia waits at the top. Each one talks back. Beat one to meet the next.
- Pieces with personalityEvery piece has eyes that blink and follow the action. They flinch when threatened, hop when picked up, and shatter when captured. Checks shake the board and checkmate goes slow-mo.
- Blitz and Puzzle RushPlay against the clock with 1+1, 3+2 or 5+3, against a rival or across the table. Puzzle Rush gives you three minutes and three strikes: mates in one, then mates in two.
- Play a friend by textEvery move becomes a link. Send it in any messaging app; your friend opens it, watches your move land, and replies. No accounts, nothing stored on a server.
- Daily mate in twoOne puzzle a day, each checked by computer to have exactly one winning first move. Share your result and keep your streak.
- Boards to unlockWin a board from every rival you beat, plus one for a big Puzzle Rush. Hints, takebacks and a replay of your best moment are always there when you play for fun.

FAQ
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. Games against a friend live inside the links you send each other, and everything else stays on your device.
How does playing by text work?
Make your move and tap Send. The link opens the game at your move for your friend, who plays theirs and sends a link back.
How strong are the rivals?
Pip is gentle and makes plenty of mistakes. Each rival up the ladder is tougher, and Aurelia at the top searches as deep as it can and doesn't slip.
What is Puzzle Rush?
Solve as many checkmate puzzles as you can in three minutes. Three wrong moves ends the run. Solve ten in one run to unlock the Aurora board.
When does the daily puzzle change?
At midnight your time. Everyone gets the same puzzle on the same day.
Is it free?
Yes, BreakKnight is free to play in the browser.
Do I need to download anything?
No. BreakKnight runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. It is also part of the Break Board Games app for iPhone, iPad and Android, coming soon.
Where is my progress saved?
On your device. There are no accounts.
