How to play

White moves first. Select a piece to see its legal moves, then choose a destination. Protect your king while you build an attack.

Win by checkmate: the other king is in check and has no legal escape. Castling, en passant and pawn promotion are supported. Stalemate and the engine’s draw rules end the game as a draw.
