Rules of the game:
Checkmate: When a player's king is under check and there is no way out.
Checkmate: The game ends in a draw when a player has nowhere to go, but no checkmate.
Tie: There are not enough pieces to checkmate:
- King vs. king and bishop;
- King vs. King and knight;
- King and bishop against king and bishop (and the bishops are on the same color).
Castling: is performed by the king and rook and can only be played after the pieces between them have been removed. The king is placed first two squares to the right or left, and then the rook from that corner “jumps” to the square crossed by the king.
Castling is not allowed when:
- The King or Rook has already moved;
- The King is under check;
- The king will pass through check.
Strategy enthusiasts and casual gamers who enjoy testing their intellect against a classic board game. Students looking to sharpen their analytical thinking, friends wanting a quick local competitive session, and anyone seeking a digital experience to practice their opening gambits and endgames without any complex setup or registration requirements.
Chess with a computer and for two is currently designed for local multiplayer on a single device rather than online matchmaking.
The game does not save ongoing matches, but it does maintain your personal statistics for future reference during your current session.
To castle, move your king two squares toward the rook, and the system will automatically complete the move if all conditions for castling are met.
