About Chess

HT Hub's Chess is the full HT chess app, brought into the hub. Play against four AI difficulty tiers (random / greedy / minimax depth-3 / unbeatable depth-5 with alpha-beta + opening book) or pass-and-play 2-player locally. Practice mode includes guided lessons, puzzle drills, and an opening trainer. Skill tracker tracks your improvement curve. Daily challenges refresh every UTC midnight. HT Hub mode is credit-based only — no real money. Mobile-first touch + drag-and-drop, full keyboard navigation on desktop, dark/light board themes. Built natively for HT Hub by Hardik Trehan, the chess app you'll see is the same one shipped on iOS + Android with the money-making features stripped out for the credit-only HT Hub release.
