Chess Free is a simple yet feature-rich version of chess, suitable for both beginners and experienced players. The game simulates traditional chess rules, so you can practice your skills and compete anytime, anywhere, without a physical chessboard.

How to play

In Chess Free, you control the white or black pieces, making alternating moves. To win, you must trap the opponent's king in a position where it's under attack and cannot make any move to avoid being captured. The game's friendly interface makes it easy to select your pieces and destination squares with just a tap or click.

How to move pieces

Every piece in the Chess Free game moves uniquely, with the king able to move one square in any direction. The queen moves any number of squares in all directions, while the rook moves only straight along rows or columns. Meanwhile, the bishop can only move diagonally. The knight is the most unique piece with an L-shaped movement. Finally, although limited in power, the pawn is crucial when only moving one square forward and capturing pieces diagonally. You need to master these moves to build an effective strategy and get closer to victory. You can play more entertaining games for the brain, such as The Impossible Quiz

Special rules in Chess Free

In addition to the basic moves, the Chess Free game also introduces many special rules. The first special rule is castling, enabling players to move both the king and rook together to protect the king by moving it to a safer square. Next is the pawn promotion, which occurs when a pawn reaches the opponent's back rank and can be transformed into a queen, rook, knight, or bishop. In particular, players need to pay attention to the checkmate situation when the king can no longer escape check; the game ends.
