What Lazy Chess is

Lazy Chess is a card & board game game developed by Cinq-Mars Media and released in 2021. It is available on Android, iOS and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on stockfish.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Lazy Chess uses the chess engine Stockfish to narrow your choices down to the best two possible moves per turn. The moves provided can always win the game, but how strong are your decisions? The board plays as a real chess game: defend, progress, capture, or castle. Those new to Chess will learn creative moves and tactics, and those with experience can play with speed against a world-class neural network. Compete against an AI opponent, online with strangers or friends, or pass-and-play with the person next to you!
