Chess on the TV: the board for everyone, the pieces on your phone

Chess on CouchGame puts the board on the big screen so the whole room can follow the game. Each player moves from their own phone, where the board faces their side and only legal moves light up.

Every official rule is included: castling, en passant, promotion, checkmate and stalemate, threefold repetition, the 50-move rule and insufficient material. Against the CPU choose one of three levels, from beginner to club player.
