About this title

Rookhallow key art
Rookhallow is Gardner minichess: every chess piece on a 5x5 board, with standard moves, pawn promotion, no castling and no en passant. Play against an alpha-beta engine at three strengths (Novice, Adept, Master) and climb the ladder by beating each one, or play a friend on the same screen. Legal moves are highlighted, check, checkmate, stalemate, threefold repetition and the fifty-move rule are detected, and you get a move list, undo, a hint arrow, a threat view and an evaluation bar. It plays in the browser with a keyboard, mouse or touch.
