BOARD · STRATEGY · 2 PLAYERS
Chess
Think ahead, protect your king, and build the decisive checkmate. Castling, en passant, pawn promotion, repetition, and every standard draw condition are fully enforced.
Win by placing the opposing king in check with no legal escape. A move that leaves your own king in check is never legal.
Pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queens, and kings each move differently. Highlighted squares show every legal destination.
Castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, threefold repetition, the 50-move rule, and insufficient-material draws are included.

Tips for a better game
- Develop minor pieces and castle before launching an early attack.
- Before every move, check for captures, checks, and threats on both sides.
