Chess

Chess against the computer or online against friends – with highlighted moves, via link or room code, no sign-up.

Play chess right in your browser – against a computer opponent or online against a friend. Tap one of your pieces and all allowed target squares are highlighted; you immediately see where the piece may move. The complete chess rules including castling, en passant and pawn promotion are enforced, and illegal moves are impossible.

In online mode you create a game room with one click and share the link – or your opponent joins with the 6-character room code. Moves are synchronized in real time, without any account or sign-up.

Frequently asked questions

How do I see which moves are allowed?

Tap one of your pieces when it's your turn. All squares it may move to are marked. A click on a marked square makes the move.

How do I play online against a friend?

Create a room and share the link – or enter your friend's 6-character room code and join. No account needed.

Are pawns promoted automatically?

Yes. When a pawn reaches the opponent's back rank, it is automatically promoted to a queen.
