About Checkmist
Checkmist by MudraLabs is a free online chess variant in development that hides the board: pieces are hidden in fog of war until scouted, research unlocks capabilities, and formation marching replaces single-piece shuffling. Five screenshots show the fog.
Chess rebuilt for the reconnaissance age — you can't capture what you can't see.
How to Play
Play fog-of-war chess: scout enemy positions, research upgrades, and march your formations against what you've (partially) seen.
Controls
Mouse – move and scout
See the original itch.io page for the developer's control notes.
Tips & Tricks
Scouting is tempo — blind moves lose to informed ones every time.
Formations beat lone wolves: the fog rewards grouped advance.
