Shah mat

Shah mat by Mario from uk

designer's own words:

Shah mat exploits and expands the idea of electronic chess board. Aim was to bring out the element of anticipation by redesign of the chess board as we know it. Look of the game is stripped down of all the classic details to focus attention of the user on simple, one step ahead informations displayed on surface of the board. Built in algorithm computer, learning mode, player versus computer,match analysis, online compability with internet match services are some of the, desired by players, features this project is supposed to incorporate. In 2014 chess community was abandoned by electronic chess manufacturers. What remains on the market is mostly second hand product built on solutions from 90's. This situation pushed chess enthusiasts to less than elegant DIY methods.
