The World's First Chess Gambling Strategy

We updated the front-end and the back-end, refreshed the design, and adapted the interface for mobile devices. The work was completed in 3 iterations.

Redesign

After the back-end updates, we were up to a big scope of redesign work to turn an obsolete app into a breakthrough gaming product. To raise its competitiveness, we've implemented a number of features, such as:

• Custom chessboard and chess pieces design.
• New layout tailored for mobile devices.
• CSS-based 3D animation.
• Fullscreen for iPhone.

Back-end improvements

The game's engine was pretty old, so the first thing the team had to do was to improve the app's back-end.

The game already had an active user base, which we didn't want to lose. So, the speed of development was of great importance. We cut time to market through workflow optimization, smart prioritization, and Agile principles. This helped us quickly fix numerous bugs and adjust the old back-end to the modern front-end.

Before introducing Dice Chess to the modern gaming market, we wanted to spice it up with extra functionality.

• The ability to create a group game for two game types: Classic and Double-Up.
• The ability to play against the opponent or yourself.
• The next chess move suggestion option.
• The ability to raise bids and suggest a rematch.
• Tournament table.

• In-game chat for players.
• For clients' security, we made sure that the gaming progress freezes in case of server-side issues.
• Admin panel storing analytics and the track record of all moves in each game ever played.
• Payment module integration for in-app payments (via Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, and more).
• Rake system.
• Public testing.
