Nested Moves

Nested Moves is chess where every capture triggers a challenge, from trivia questions to tactical d20 rolls.

Winning the challenge completes the capture. Losing it can leave your piece exposed and your entire plan in ruins.

Choose a ready-made game mode or build your own. Create custom trivia questions, select which challenges can appear, and define the exact d20 roll required for every attacker-and-target combination.

During a match, an attempted capture might lead to a trivia question, a d20 roll, tic-tac-toe, four-in-a-row, checkers, a coin flip, or even another game of chess. Every challenge introduces new risks, reversals, and opportunities, but the underlying chess position still matters.

Features

• Chess with a twist: Every attempted capture triggers a challenge that determines whether the move succeeds.

• Custom trivia: Create your own questions for personalized matches, themed quizzes, or challenges with friends.

• Highly customizable matches: Choose which challenges appear and adjust their rules to create strategic, chaotic, or unpredictable games.

• Play your way: Challenge a computer opponent, play locally, invite friends online, or search for public lobbies.

Whether you want a strategic chess variant, a competitive party game, or an excuse to settle a capture with a coin flip, Nested Moves turns every capture into a game within the game.
