3-min chess: Skip openings & endgames. Master middle games with real players
Most people don't play chess online. Not because they don't love chess, but because a real game takes too long, and getting good seems to mean memorizing openings and grinding out endgames. Zapp Chess fixes that. Zapp is real chess, just shortened. Every game starts in the middlegame, so there are no openings to memorize and no slow endgame to grind. A full game takes about 3 minutes.
