Dec 21, 2023Chessarama borrows time-tested systems from centuries ago, using them to craft refreshing, inventive, and visually appealing puzzles. These challenges compel chess enthusiasts to contemplate the game in a slightly different manner, while newcomers might find themselves drawn to a new hobby. It's not a game you finish and set aside in an hour because it's brimming with content and is so addictive that it pleasantly robs you of many late evenings.

Jan 2, 2024If you’re looking for another way to learn chess, Chessarama will definitely give you a unique insight into each piece and its moves. Just like chess itself, the game’s small but challenging puzzles will test your ability to think ahead and plan your strategy. While I might call Chessarama a puzzle game first and a chess simulation second, either way, it’s a refreshing and fun bit of puzzle strategy fun.

Dec 6, 2023Chessarama delivers some great puzzle design, with delightful visuals and inventive ways of teaching you chess concepts as you play. It’s missing the attention to detail that could make it really shine, but it’s a charming package that’s easy to recommend for anyone who enjoys chess puzzles or who is interested in learning more about the game. Just don’t expect it to replace your chess.com subscription.

Dec 14, 2023Chessarama converts the tactical and strategic appeal of chess into a charming and brain-teasing puzzler successfully. It loses its Queen thanks to some minor technical hiccups and occasionally widely volatile difficulty curve, but there are more than enough pieces remaining to see it achieve a comfortable victory. Not quite a grandmaster, but an adept newcomer’s spin on the timeless game of chess.
