This game is of Chess lovers, by Chess lovers, and for Chess lovers. This is my second start-up venture and I have been an entrepreneur for more than two years. This has helped me in shaping this startup very well. The user's response is phenomenal and their feedback has been very encouraging."

The rules of the game are same as the old one only now you have to fight against two players instead of one.
