3D chess with five engine levels — three.js
THE PRODUCT
Neon Chess is a premium chess game for the web: sculpted pieces on an alabaster and obsidian board floating in a nebula, with smooth move animations, highlighted legal moves, check and last-move markers and sound for every move, capture and checkmate.
Under the hood is a complete chess engine — full rules including castling, en passant, promotion, threefold repetition and the fifty-move rule — running in a Web Worker so the page never freezes. Five computer levels range from a friendly beginner (about 600) to a deep-calculating grandmaster (2200+). Players pick their colour, an optional clock (bullet to rapid) and a 3D or top-down board, or play a friend on the same device.
The engine, the clock and the texts are separate files, so you can reuse the engine, translate the copy or restyle the board. Built on a self-hosted three.js; no external requests.

RELEASE HISTORY
No. It is static HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Any web host works; it plays fully offline once loaded.
Not out of the box: you play against the computer or with a friend on the same device. The game code accepts a multiplayer adapter (ctx.multiplayer: sendMove / onMove), so online play can be added with your own real-time server — we can quote it as custom work.
Yes. Texts and colours are in index.html, gameplay values near the top of game.js, and all pictures, models and sounds are plain files you can replace.
Yes — touch, mouse and keyboard controls, portrait and landscape, high-DPI screens.
Licence = one end product (yours or one client's). Full source = unlimited end products for you and your clients, including white-label, paid games and SaaS. Neither allows reselling the game or its source on its own.
