YOUR BOARD, YOUR STYLE
• 2D and 3D chess boards

All the rules of chess are built in: checkmate, stalemate, threefold repetition, the 50-move rule and draws by insufficient material.

Chess is the classic strategy board game, and this app is made for every level: beginners learn the rules and practice with hints, club players sharpen their blitz and rapid, and strong players test themselves against the engine at full strength.

Whether you are learning to play chess, training against the computer or playing blitz with friends online, Chess Online & Offline is ready when you are. Set up the board and make your first move!

Good to know.
