Didactives of the Game

Raindropchess® appears to be particularly useful in efficiently acquiring many different chess skills, valuable for the regular game of chess as well. Skills that can be acquired without any external help (such as a teacher or a coach), simply by playing the game.

The openness, freedom of choice and transparent processes make for a particularly accessible game. The chance factor adds a welcome suspense. Every turn offers new possibilities, you cannot think too far ahead. You can however make clever use of new chances, and they appear in abundance. The game is offensive in character; the moment the King makes his arrival onto the board, the sole purpose is to defend one's own and to attack the opponent's King.

The game leaves plenty of room for personal interpretation. After all, players are free to place their chessmen anywhere they like, to build a unique composition. In effect, a team of players is composed. In the course of the game, a chosen strategy will prove itself effective or not. Each turn offers fresh chances and stimulates the exploration of new possibilities.

Players will engage in seemingly effortless complex thinking while enjoying the game, which is greatly beneficial to learning and development.
