About Chess

Play a complete game of chess against the P4wn computer engine. Adjust the difficulty, swap sides or set both players to human for a shared-board match. Your latest position saves in this browser.

A useful starting tip

Develop your knights and bishops, protect your king and check what your opponent threatens before choosing a move.

How to play

Select a piece and then a legal destination. Use computer level to change the difficulty, swap to change sides, and undo to take back a move. New game starts over. After reloading, the saved position returns; the earlier move log does not.

Having trouble?

The game runs inside this page. Click inside it before using keyboard controls. Use Full screen for more space, Reload to retry, or Close game to stop the game. Rotate a phone to landscape if controls feel small.
