Games Chess
Chess is a 64-square game where winning comes down to calculation, not speed. Each piece moves by its own rules, and every game is about seeing several moves ahead. Here you’ll find versions against the computer, against a live opponent, and puzzles to help you practice combinations.
Play against the computer
The easiest way to get into the game. The computer moves instantly, so there’s no waiting, and you pick the difficulty before the game starts. On easy, your opponent misses obvious threats; on hard, it thinks deeper than most people. Chess Classic has a standard board and standard rules, with no extras — it’s the best place to start.
Play against a live opponent
Playing against a person feels different: your opponent makes mistakes, bluffs, and sets traps the computer won’t. In Chess Masters Multiplayer, you play online against someone from any country. And 2 Player Online Chess is made for two players on one computer — the second player just sits down next to you. You can find more games for two in the 2 player section.
Puzzles and combinations
Chess puzzles are their own thing: the position is already on the board, and you need to find the only winning move. Mate In One Move gives you mate in one move — it’s training for spotting threats, not for long calculation. These puzzles help you recognize common combinations faster in a regular game.
Where a beginner should start
You can learn how the pieces move in one evening. After that, three things decide the game: don’t leave pieces undefended, get them out of their starting squares in the first few moves, and keep your king sheltered behind pawns. Everything else comes with practice. You can find more board games in the board games section.
