Classic Strategy Meets Skillz Speed

Chess Payday by Turbo Labz transforms one of the world’s oldest strategy games into a Skillz-powered race against time. Every match tests your logic, timing, and precision, where thinking fast is just as important as thinking smart. You’ve got a ticking clock and a CPU opponent standing between you and the top score. The player who defeats the CPU with the highest total wins the match.

How to Play: Think Ahead, Move Fast

Your goal is simple: outscore your opponent before time runs out. Matches are five minutes long, ending the moment the clock hits zero or a checkmate is delivered.

You’ll see a Move Bonus Bar at the bottom center of the screen. It tracks how quickly you make each move. The faster your move, the higher your Move Bonus. Each move earns between +1 and +10 points depending on your speed.

Scoring: Time, Tactics, and Checkmates

Bonuses are added to your final total for speed, victory, and time remaining:

• Victory Bonus: +5,000 points for winning the match.
• Draw Bonus: +2,500 points for a tie.
• Checkmate Bonus: +2,000 points for finishing the match with a checkmate.
• Victory Time Bonus: +5x the seconds remaining on your clock.
• Move Bonus: +1 to +10 points per move, depending on how quickly you play.

The key is balance: make quick, accurate moves to build bonuses without rushing into mistakes.

Tips for Winning the Match

• Checkmate cleanly: Finish with precision to claim your +2,000 checkmate bonus.
• Manage your clock: Every second left multiplies into points. Play fast, not recklessly.

Smart players know that winning isn’t just about checkmate. It’s about managing time, earning bonuses, and finishing strong.
