Chess is lots of fun on its own. It is not that hard to learn but takes years to master. You can even have more fun by learning chess variants like Chess 960, Crazyhouse, and 3-check chess. Here are 6 chess variant apps for iPhone that let you go beyond regular chess on your mobile device:
Pulsar Chess Engine: this app comes with 6 chess variants for you to play (Chess 960, Crazyhouse, Loser’s Chess, Atomic, Three Checks & Suicide Chess). It has multiple levels for beginners to more advanced users.
Anti Chess: this Anti-Chess iPhone app challenges you to lose all your pieces. It lets you play against a friend or AI.
