With The King, an opponent awaits you who offers completely new and interesting challenges with his very active, risk-taking, sometimes downright spectacular style of play. You will never play against a chess computer in a more human and emotional way! The computer adapts flexibly to your abilities in four adaptive game levels. On the entry level "Play & Win" even chess novices have a chance to defeat it. In addition, there are the ELO levels, where you get an approximate estimate of your own rating. The function for saving different opponent personalities allows you to configure your own "personal king" step by step. The Super-smooth pressure sensor board along with the 81 LEDs for move display, makes moving pieces and playing the game easy for anyone. For the first time, the popular game Chess960 according to the official FIDE rules has been integrated. Whether a beginner or a grandmaster, the King Competition will elevate your game to the next level and beyond!
