How to play

Use your mouse to select a piece and click on a valid square to move it. Each type of piece follows specific movement rules, such as diagonals for bishops or L-shapes for knights. The primary objective is to put the opponent's king into checkmate, a position where the king is under attack and has no legal moves to escape. Plan several turns ahead to anticipate your opponent's responses.

Tips for beginners

  • Control the center of the board early to increase your pieces' mobility.
  • Protect your king by castling whenever the opportunity arises.
  • Analyze the potential consequences of every move before committing.
  • Keep an eye on the entire board to avoid missing unexpected attacks.
