♟️ Android Chess Players — Here’s an Opportunity to Test a New Chess Variant!

We were recently contacted by Tim Sill, an independent developer here in North Carolina who is working on What the Chess?, a new Android chess-variant game.

He is currently looking for adult Android users who enjoy chess and chess variants to participate in the game’s upcoming Google Play closed test.

The test is completely free. Participants will be asked to:

• Remain enrolled in the test for 14 consecutive days
• Try the game approximately three times during that period
• Test the Premium checkout through Google Play’s no-charge testing system
• Provide brief and honest feedback

Daily play is not required.

Those who complete the testing period will receive complimentary lifetime Premium access to What the Chess?

The closed test is expected to begin this weekend, and registration is open now.

Interested? Learn more about the game, testing requirements, and sign up here:

A twisted chess game where enemy pieces switch sides. Play the digital game now; the physical edition is in development.
