How to play online

Create a game and share the link with a friend, or press Play a random opponent to be matched with whoever else is waiting. You can choose a 5-minute clock, a 10-minute clock or no clock.

The player who creates the game plays White. Tap a piece, then tap a highlighted square to move. Every move is checked on our server, so illegal moves are not possible.

You can offer a draw, resign, or ask for a rematch with colors swapped. If you refresh or lose your connection, open the same link again and you'll rejoin your seat. Play is anonymous, with no accounts and no chat.
