Standard chess rules apply. Click a piece to highlight legal moves in blue, then click a highlighted square to move. Captures are indicated in red. The game enforces castling, en passant, pawn promotion, and stalemate detection. Use Hint for move suggestions, Undo for mistakes in casual games, and Analysis after the match. Strategic Chess Principles: Control the center (d4, d5, e4, e5) in the opening. Develop pieces quickly—knights before bishops, castle early, and avoid moving the same piece twice. King safety is paramount: castle by move 7-8 and don't push pawns in front of your castled king without good reason. In the middle game, look for forks, pins, and discovered attacks. The endgame is about king activation and pawn promotion—centralize your king and support passed pawns. A single pawn promoting to a queen usually decides the game. Use the Analysis feature after every match, win or lose, to see which moves the engine identified as mistakes. This single habit improves your chess faster than anything else.

18 AI levels is incredible. Working my way up for months and each new level feels like a real achievement. The post-game analysis is better than some paid chess apps. Best free online chess game.
