Your goal in pongchess is to survive as long as possible. You lose when the ball gets to the left side of the board. To prevent the ball from doing that, you have to use your chess pieces. You can make any legal moves (except castling or en passant) – but the ball is only reflected if your piece lands on it.
Don't play with a touchpad.
Don't rely on a single piece.
Moving a pawn all the way to the last rank will change it to a ball. It's more challenging, but your score increases faster!
