Kung-Fu Chess Chess contained six different game types: in addition to the four existed in Shizmoo's Kung-Fu Chess, also included Fast Standard, and Four-Way Crazyhouse. On May 27, 2014 Tempest was discontinued by its owner. In 2010 a game similar to Kung Fu Chess dubbed "Ninja Chess" has been developed for iPhone and iPad. It is published on the App Store by Nordlysa Entertainment, but has been abandoned by the creator and is currently unavailable from the Store. This project brings the concept of Real-Time Chess to touch interfaces and includes the ability to play Head-to-Head (each player facing his own board).
