Purple controls White and moves first; every standard piece begins in its normal square.
HOW TO PLAY
Chess
Checkmate the opposing king.
Take your turn
- Move one piece according to standard chess rules.
- Protect your king from check.
- Castling, en passant and queen promotion are supported.
Finish on top
Checkmate wins. Stalemate, repetition, insufficient material and the fifty-move rule draw.
Play smarter

- Check the safety of both kings after every move.
