♟️ Play free now10 seconds from click to game
Full chess with every rule in place: castling both ways, en passant, pawn promotion, stalemate and checkmate. The board highlights legal moves, so beginners feel at home while stronger players are free to plot twenty moves ahead.
Playing a friend requires no accounts, no apps, no clubs: create a room, send the link, and in ten seconds the pieces are set. Play from a phone on the subway or a laptop in a boring lecture.
The bot is always up for a game when no human opponent is around. For groups there is tournament mode: a 3–8 player bracket, a series of games and a final table — a pop-up chess club for one evening.
