Chess Blitz
Chess Rush is a memory game played with chess pieces, not a game of chess. You flip cards to find matching pairs of King, Queen, Knight, Pawn, Rook and Bishop -- six pairs on the first level -- against a sixty-second clock, and the pieces are the vocabulary rather than the rules. Even the difficulty names are chess time-controls rather than chess: Casual gives 35% more time and leaves a mismatched pair face-up for 1.1 seconds, Blitz is the standard clock at 0.8, and Bullet cuts the clock to 70% and flips a miss back after 0.4 seconds. That peek window is the real difficulty -- Bullet gives you barely a third of Casual's look at what you just turned over. Free in the browser, no download and no signup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Chess Rush an actual game of chess?âž
No. It is a memory pair-matching game that uses chess pieces on its cards. There is no board, no opponent and no chess rules -- if you came for chess, this is not it.
How do you play Chess Rush?âž
Tap cards, or use the arrow keys and Space, to flip two at a time and find matching pairs of pieces before the clock runs out.
What do Casual, Blitz and Bullet change?âž
The clock and the peek time. Casual gives 35% more time and a 1.1-second look at a mismatch, Blitz is standard at 0.8 seconds, Bullet cuts the clock to 70% and the peek to 0.4.
Why is Bullet so much harder?âž
Because 0.4 seconds is barely a third of Casual's peek. The board is the same -- what changes is whether you get long enough to register what you turned over.
How many pairs are there?âž
Six on the first level, with sixty seconds on the standard clock, and more as you progress.
Is Chess Rush free?âž
Yes, free in the browser on desktop and mobile with no download and no signup.
