About Easy Chess
Easy Chess is a browser version of the classic board game, playable free with no download. You take control of one side and face an opponent across the board, moving pieces in turns with the goal of trapping the enemy king. It runs right on your phone or computer screen, ready whenever you want a game.
How to play Easy Chess
Play by clicking or tapping a piece to select it, then choosing a legal square to move it to. Each piece type moves differently: pawns step forward, rooks slide straight lines, bishops move diagonally, knights jump in an L shape, the queen combines rook and bishop moves, and the king moves one square at a time. Take turns with your opponent until one king is checkmated.
Tips for playing Easy Chess
- Move your pawns and knights out early to control the center of the board.
- Keep your king protected behind other pieces before pushing forward with attacks.
- Check every move for whether it leaves your own king exposed to capture.
