Chess

Chess is the classic strategy board game, free to play online in your browser. Take on the computer across ten levels, from a true beginner that still hangs pieces to an expert that calculates several moves ahead, pass the device to a friend, or sharpen your tactics with checkmate puzzles.

How to play

  1. Pick vs Computer, 2 Players or Puzzles; against the computer, choose a level, your colour and an optional clock.
  2. Tap a piece and then a dot, or drag it; arrow keys and Enter work too. A pawn that reaches the last rank lets you choose its promotion.
  3. Checkmate the enemy king to win; stalemate, threefold repetition, the fifty-move rule and too little material are draws.

Features

  • Ten computer levels from about 400 to 2200 Elo, with a ✓ or ★ for every level you beat
  • Full rules with castling, en passant, promotion, draws, clocks, undo, hints and resign
  • 47 verified puzzles: mate in 1, 2 and 3 plus material-winning tactics
