About the game

A complete chess game with three ways to play

Classic Chess uses the familiar 8×8 board and the standard set of kings, queens, rooks, bishops, knights and pawns. The WGPlayground listing includes play against artificial intelligence, a shared-device match and online multiplayer, plus a spectator option for watching other games.

Protect your king while building an attack that leaves the opposing king with no legal escape from check. Mouse controls handle piece selection and movement on the portrait board.
