Real-time chess with clocks, legal-move checks and draw offers.
About Chess
Challenge a coworker to a game of chess online. Every move is checked against the full rules of chess, including castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, threefold repetition and the fifty-move rule. Pick a time control, offer draws, resign gracefully, and keep each game in your match history.
How to play Chess
- Create a chess room, choose a time control and invite your opponent.
- White moves first. Drag a piece or click a piece and then a square to move.
- Your clock only runs on your turn. If it reaches zero, you lose on time.
- Checkmate your opponent's king to win. You can also offer a draw or resign.
