About this game...

 

Chess is a classic strategy board game that has been played for hundreds of years. Each type of chess piece is allowed to make certain moves. The goal of the game is to checkmate your opponent, that is, to trap their King with no possible moves to avoid capture.  If the game reaches the point where neither player can achieve checkmate, the game results in a draw. Take your time strategizing each move or speed the game up in the Blitz mode.
