How to play

  • Tap one of your pieces to see where it can go, then tap a highlighted square.
  • All the usual rules apply: castling, en passant, and promoting a pawn when it reaches the far side.
  • Checkmate wins. Stalemate, repeating the same position three times, or 50 moves without a capture or pawn move is a draw.
  • You can resign on your turn.
