Chess meets billiards. Flick your pieces like a cue stick — aim, pull back, and launch. Every collision counts. Can you knock the opponent's king off the board?

Chess Flicks reinvents chess with physics-based gameplay. Instead of moving pieces traditionally, you flick them using a cue stick mechanic — drag back to aim, release to fire. GAMEPLAY • Click a piece to select it • Drag your mouse backward to aim — the further you drag, the more power • Release to flick the piece in the aim direction • Knock opponent pieces off the board to eliminate them • Last player with pieces on the board wins PIECE PHYSICS Every piece has a unique weight and shape. Pawns are light and fly far. Rooks are heavy and hit hard. The King is the heaviest piece — protect it. • Pawn — 0.3 (light, easy to send flying) • Bishop — 2.0 • Knight — 2.5 • Rook — 3.0 • Queen — 5.0 • King — 6.0 (heaviest) HIT ZONES Where you click on a piece matters: • Hit the TOP — piece tips and spins • Hit the MIDDLE — balanced push • Hit the BOTTOM — piece slides along the board FEATURES • Solo mode — practice against yourself, alternating sides • LAN Multiplayer — host or join a game on your local network • 5-second turn timer — no stalling • Cinematic slow motion — when a player is down to their last piece, the camera zooms in for the final moment • Hall of Fame — track your wins, losses and win rate • Fully 3D physics with realistic piece weight distribution • Thunderstorm skybox atmosphere • Animated lobby with Chess Flicks artwork
