Ten players.One crown.

Chess Millions is chess as a TV game show: ten contestants on one round board, a roaring studio crowd, and a stage that shrinks until only one king is left standing.

How the show plays

Everything you know about chess, bent round a circle and turned up to ten.

Capture the kings

No check, no checkmate. Take a king and that player's whole army becomes yours. Last one standing wins.

Real time

Nobody waits their turn. Every piece has a rest timer, so the fastest thinker, not the first mover, wins.

Or classic

Take turns round the table, a minute each. All the scheming of chess, with nine rivals watching your back.

It's a game show

The prize wheel changes the rules each round, and the outer rings fall away, so nobody can hide forever.
