  • Basic rules
    • The game is played on an 8 x 8 board whose squares come in alternating colors. These are labeled in numbers (vertical) and letters (horizontal).
    • The white player always goes first.
    • The object of chess is to capture the enemy king.
      • To win, you must put your pieces in a position where the enemy king can be captured.
      • Likewise, you must prevent your king from getting captured in turn.
    • Chess games can end in the following ways:
      • In many cases, a game ends with a checkmate. This is when you or your opponent cannot make any mores that won’t result in the king being in danger of capture.
      • Alternately, you can reach a stalemate where neither player can make any move that will lead to their victory or defeat.
    • If your king is in any immediate danger of being captured, you are in check and must move the king away.
  • Game features
    • Each time you select a piece, the game highlights all the moves it can make in yellow.
    • The cumulative amount of time it takes for you to make a move is cataloged on the timer.
    • The timer also notes the last piece you’ve moved.
    • The usual icons for the King and Queen are switched in this game. Remember, the queen always takes its color.
