About

I'm a first-time developer, having built a career as a TV quiz producer. As a puzzle & game enthusiast, I have always created my own puzzles and hoped for an idea worth developing into its own app - Chess Peace was that idea!

Chess Peace - A peaceful puzzle game for iPhone, no chess knowledge needed

The puzzle at the core of Chess Peace is genuinely original: place one of each chess piece on an irregular board so no piece can take another. Rather than the conflict of traditional chess, here players find Chess Peace. It works for non-chess players and experts. It contains 26,500 puzzles of 3 difficulties across 5 modes, each a twist on the core rule, plus free Daily Puzzles. I'm a TV quiz producer, as well as a chess, puzzle & tech lover. This is my first app, built entirely independently.
