About this game

Very Real Chess is one of the first Virtual Reality chess games created specifically for a Steam VR experience. Compete one-on-one with AI in a fully featured chess environment.

Key Features:

  • Move around in a simplistic room-scale or standing-only game environment
  • Play against the computer with one of the best AI in the world -- the Stockfish chess engine
  • Play on either side as white or black
  • Wrong move detection tells you when a move is not possible
  • Overhead view allows the player to see the chessboard from above like a traditional 2D chess game
  • Interested in developing your own virtual reality experience? Very Real Chess is released under the GPL 3.0 license, so contact the developer for source code!
