How to Play
Chess: The Basics
Click or tap to select a piece and move it to a highlighted square. These Chess controls are simple enough, but they will not save you from a blunder when you forget to watch your back rank. Just drag and drop to execute your strategy on the board.
How to play Chess against the AI
Select the computer mode to test your mettle against various difficulty levels. If you are a beginner, do not start on the hardest setting unless you enjoy getting dismantled in ten moves. A common mistake is moving your queen too early; keep her tucked away until the board opens up.
Chess: Solving Puzzles
The puzzle mode is where you actually learn how to play Chess properly. You get a specific board state and must find the winning sequence to force a checkmate. These scenarios start easy, but they rapidly turn into a nightmare that requires real focus to solve.
