Discover Solo Chess
I’m theSpider, the solo developer behind these games. I take familiar chess pieces and give them a new challenge: a puzzle to untangle, a board to race across, or a vault to escape.
I design and build each game myself, one little idea at a time. This collection is my way of sharing the fun of chess with anyone who has a few minutes and a curious mind.
