Each variant possesses its unique style, with games like Chess960, Three Checks, and Crazyhouse offering an experience akin to traditional chess gameplay.

Pulsar caters to players across all skill levels, offering customizable difficulty settings from beginner to advanced levels. Time-controlled games present a significant challenge, with the time control serving to handicap Pulsar's playing strength without enforcing time constraints on the player.

The app's user-friendly interface allows players to configure game settings easily, enabling customization of variants and difficulty levels. The Pulsar program, originating in 1998 for desktop computers and making its mobile debut in 2014, boasts a rich history of development.

For visually impaired users, Pulsar offers accessibility features through Voice Over integration. Players can interact with the board using touch gestures coupled with spoken prompts to identify pieces and execute moves efficiently.

Pulsar's strength is informed by extensive playtesting against relevant opponents on dedicated servers hosting both standard chess matches and game variants. While the displayed ratings offer a general indication of playing strength derived from handicapped bot matches, they may not be a precise reflection of absolute performance.

With a versatile feature set that includes the option for two-player gameplay where users can make moves for both sides concurrently, Pulsar serves as an engaging platform for interactive board gaming experiences.
