๐ŸŽฎ About Chess

This is classic chess with all the standard rules, ready to play in your browser. Pick a computer opponent on easy, medium or hard, or play a friend on the same screen. Legal moves are highlighted when you select a piece, which makes it a friendly place to learn as well as to practise.

Helpful extras include undo, a hint button and optional timers for a faster game. Several board styles let you choose the look you find easiest to read.

Chess is one of the best-known ways to train planning and pattern spotting, the same skills that help in tricky quiz rounds. Start on easy, then move up a level once you are winning regularly.

Why it's worth a play

Chess is the classic game for planning, calculation and pattern recognition. Playing a few games a week builds the habit of considering your opponent's reply before making a move, a skill that carries over to puzzles and tricky quiz questions alike.
