About the game

Chess meets match-three to create a deep and strategic new experience. Faced with a board full of chess pieces, you must create rows or columns of matching pieces to score points. Pieces move the same way as in chess and “take” the piece in their target destination, clearing it from the board.

It was never meant to be free, but some reviewers had given them a negative review simply because they felt shortchanged because they…

I'm not a fan of mindless Match-3 games, but I do enjoy new and innovative ideas that make you think. Chesster is a new twist on placement puzzles which will challenge your wits to plan ahead.

All this wrapped in a friendly price tag.
