Chess with Friends is a multiplayer asynchronous chess game developed by Zynga with Friends (formerly Newtoy, Inc.), which also developed Words with Friends and Hanging with Friends.[1] It was one of the first iPhone games to take an asynchronous approach to multiplayer.[2] Released in November 2008[3] and published by Zynga, the game is available on iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) and, since 2014, Android.
Paul Bettner, a Zynga with Friends founder, was quoted as saying,
“So in August of 2008, we left Ensemble, bought some MacBooks and started working out of our local public library. A few months later, we put Chess with Friends on the App Store.”[3]
Chess with Friends is a freemium game, meaning there is no cost to play, but players have the option of purchasing premium content.Play a Friend (via link) - for players to quickly play someone from their friend list.
Default Time - options range from 1 to 14 days for each move. Game lies between 1 to 10-minute as per move default settings (for new users).
