π How to play Chess
- You play with the white pieces and move first. Tap a piece to see its highlighted legal moves.
- Tap a highlighted square to move the selected piece. The computer will respond automatically with black.
- All rules apply: castling, en passant and promotion (pawns that reach the end become a queen).
- If your king is in check, the square is marked in red and you must move to escape that threat.
- The game ends in checkmate (no moves and the king is threatened) or draw by stalemate (no legal moves without being in check).
π‘ Tip: control the center of the board in the first moves, it makes it easier to move the rest of your pieces.
