It's what makes everything - atoms, water, love, interactivity, games, life - possible. Systemic emergence can be speculated to be behind the existence of all matter and energy. If this is true, then you have a chance to experience and understand more about the secret sauce behind the reality, life and love by playing Super X Chess.

  • Crafted with love, care and sacrifices. It will also mean content updates.

This program has made a lasting impression on me because of the user interface : simple but very nice and ergonomic.

[b]Bravo to the developer for patching this game 5 years after its release ![/b]
