How Web Chess works

In Web Chess, players take turns moving pieces across the board according to traditional chess rules. Each type of piece moves in specific patterns, such as bishops moving diagonally and rooks moving in straight lines. The goal is to threaten the opponent’s king so it cannot escape capture, known as checkmate. The game typically provides in-game instructions or highlights legal moves to assist players in learning the rules.

Strategy tips

• Protect your king by controlling the center of the board.
• Develop your pieces early to increase options for attack and defense.
• Watch your opponent’s moves carefully and anticipate their strategies.
