About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
YOUR NEXT MOVE STARTS HERE
Chess Town is a cozy chess career simulation where every move matters — on and off the board.
Build your strategy, make difficult decisions during tense matches, rise through local tournaments, and shape a life around the game you love. Your path to becoming a stronger player is not decided by chess alone.
Chess is more than finding a good move.
During matches, choose decision cards that shape your approach to the position. Anticipate your opponent’s plans, combine tactics, react to dangerous threats, and commit to the line that best fits your strategy.
The pieces follow the logic of chess — but your decisions determine the plan behind every move.
Build tactical momentum through smart card choices
Read your opponent’s intentions and answer their threats
Create powerful combinations at the right moment
Turn a difficult position into a memorable victory
Step into the Tournament Hall and put your preparation to the test.
Enter events, follow the standings, face new opponents, and fight your way through every round. A strong result can move you closer to the next stage of your chess career — but every tournament demands focus, preparation, and nerve.
Compete in local chess tournaments
Follow rankings and tournament progress
Face new opponents as your career develops
Chase the next title, prize, and breakthrough
A chess career needs more than ambition.

Take on hands-on construction jobs
React quickly to changing work conditions
Balance risk and reward
Earn money to support your chess career
When time is short, every second counts.

Earn money through quick deliveries
