Chess with Friends was a multiplayer asynchronous chess game developed by Zynga with Friends (formerly Newtoy, Inc.), which also developed Words with Friends and Hanging with Friends.[1] It was one of the first iPhone games to take an asynchronous approach to multiplayer.[2] Released in November 2008[3] and published by Zynga, the game is available on iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) and, since 2014, Android. Paul Bettner, a Zynga with Friends founder, was quoted as saying, “So in August of 2008, we left Ensemble, bought some MacBooks and started working out of our local public library. A few months later, we put Chess with Friends on the App Store.”[3] In October 2023 Zynga announced the platform would close in November 2023.
