How to play
Rules of Chess
Moves
Tap a piece to see its legal moves, then tap a highlighted square.
Special moves
Castling, en passant and promotion are all supported; a pawn that reaches the far side becomes a queen.
The end
Checkmate wins. A player with no legal move who is not in check is stalemated — a draw.
Levels
Easy looks one move ahead, medium two, hard three.
Free to play, with no betting, no ads and no sign-up. Nothing you do in the game leaves this device.
