Coming from Tencent, Chess Rush is the latest title in the popular Auto Chess genre, and it aims to make the experience more suitable for the mobile platform by adding a Turbo mode, compressing the standard 40-minute match into a 10-minute affair.

There will be multiple rounds. The first one will have teams duke it out against one another in the Classic mode. The second, meanwhile, will be played in the Turbo Mode.
