Traditional board game meets technology

In this age, various things are affected by technology.

We believe we can update a lot of existing rules and common sense to more exciting things
by connecting technology and creativity.

Digital creation meant to create contents on screen in many parts so far but,
now it started to be out of screen.

Then, what we create out of screen?
As one of the answer, we made Chess.

Why was the chess?

Chess is the best known board game.
Sophisticated perfectly and no more evolution.
Anyone can enjoy simply regardless of countries and languages.

We thought surprise such as the masterpiece of game “Chess” is updated might be the best demonstrations
that can embody creation which we believe.

At the same time, we felt possibilities,
the masterpiece of game like Chess or Cards became video games but they were just like confined to screen
and those games didn’t meet digital and technology in the real sense.

Visual Concept

The future which was drawn in movie or animation when we were kids.
We didn’t doubt that we will be able to touch imaginary games and vehicles in the near future.

Electric and twinkle board game which we got excited at that time.
This is the visual concept of SPEED CHESS.

Create new sensation

Chess board which used multi touch display is not for characterizing visual.
Multi touch display brought 2 evolutions to Chess.

It brings expansion of speedy game that is settled in few minutes.

SPEED CHESS requires to do those 3 things at the same time.
It brings you a sense of mind game than sports.

Second, displaying of guide.

Manu people can enjoy the match at the same layer and anyone can play this game
without knowing the rules and no experience of play chess because of this support.

We are particular about update for enjoy the facing match that able to share delight with the opponents
in front of player with took context such as technology and digital to board game.
