About History's Gambit

History's Gambit is a free, browser-based chess game and resource that combines chess with history. It reimagines the defining struggles of historical figures — from William Wallace and Joan of Arc to Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo — as narrative campaigns in which every puzzle is a checkmate certified by a custom solver. It is fully bilingual (Spanish and English) and plays in any browser, online or offline.

What makes it different

How it works

Book I (six chronicles of antiquity and the Middle Ages) is free to play; Books II and III are premium and unlock together with a single purchase. The chronicles are based on historical facts and public-domain sources, and the narrative is faithful to the spirit of each figure's story.
