How to Play Online Chess
- Choose whether to play against the computer or a friend on the same device.
- Each player takes turns moving one piece at a time.
- Pawns move forward, bishops diagonally, rooks in straight lines, knights in an L-shape, the queen in any direction, and the king one square.
- Capture your opponent’s pieces by moving onto their square.
- Win by putting your opponent’s king in checkmate, where it cannot escape capture.
