Chess Board
Chess Board is a two-player chess game for one device, so you can take turns with a friend on the same screen. The game follows the full rules, including check, castling and pawn promotion. Drag a piece to move it, and only legal moves are allowed.
How to play
- Drag a piece to a square it can move to.
- Turn on the possible-moves hint to see where a piece can go.
- Turn on the last-move highlight to see what your opponent just did.
- Press Undo to take back your last move.
- Press New Game to set the board up again.
Controls
Desktop: Drag pieces with the mouse. Use the Undo and New Game buttons.
Phone and tablet: Drag pieces with your finger. The same buttons work on touch screens.
Tips
- Undo takes back one move at a time, so try a line out before you commit.
- Your game is saved in this browser, so you can come back to it later.
- Use the move hints when you are learning how each piece moves.
