Chess of the lunar kind

Hello Everyone,

Chess has inspired several variants and one of the latest is Lunar Chess for the iPod and iPhone. It's available for free and comes with a twist.

Lunar Chess is played with a smaller board. The twist is that the pieces on your side of the game board are always yours. So if you opponent moves their piece to your side it is now yours and vice versa!

It's a two-player game and you can set levels of difficulty. The graphics are pretty futuristic with red and blues to match the techie music. On the iPad it can also be a four-player game.
