Chess Online: rules and examples
Bring your attention to one round of Chess Online. Checkmate the opposing king. Look at what changes after your first action. Identify the playing area and the controls you need. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.
Play on one device with a friend or against the basic computer opponent. Repetition and the fifty-move rule trigger an automatic draw here; there is no internet matchmaking or tournament clock.
Practice with a purpose
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Refer to the controls when needed.
The challenge in front of you
Checkmate the opposing king. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
A walkthrough of the rules
- Select local play or basic computer.
- Choose a piece and a legal target.
- Castling, en passant and promotion obey king-safety rules.
- Use the promotion selector before moving to the last rank.
- Undo or New game restarts play.
Controls
Tap a piece and target; choose a promotion piece when needed. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Follow the example
Castling cannot pass through an attacked square. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Where a round can go wrong
The computer is a small search opponent, not a rated engine. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
