Chess is a strategic two-player game where each player controls an army of 16 pieces: a king, queen, two rooks, two bishops, two knights, and eight pawns. The objective is to checkmate the opponent's king, creating a situation where it cannot escape capture. The game is played on an 8x8 board, and each piece has unique movement rules. Strategy involves developing pieces, controlling the center, defending the king, and exploiting weaknesses in the opponent's defense. Chess requires analysis, planning, and anticipating the opponent's moves, making it one of the most complex and intellectual games in the world.
To play online with real players, as well as online bots, go to the "tables" tab, select a table that suits your parameters and join the game. You can also create your own gaming table with the desired settings by clicking the "create game" button. In training mode, you can play offline with yourself or with the computer. The more time you give the artificial intelligence to think, the better it will play. In addition, if the game is new to you and you want to understand what strategy and tactics to follow, you can choose a CPU vs. CPU game and watch the process.
If it is obvious to you what your opponent should do next, and you already have an answer, you can, on your opponent's turn, continue the game by making moves for both your opponent and yourself to an unlimited depth. As long as your opponent's actual moves coincide with those you made on the board, your moves will be executed instantly without losing time. If you also predicted the subsequent moves correctly, they will also be executed instantly. If your opponent's move differs from the predicted one, the position will be updated, and you will simply continue the game as usual. To cancel planned moves, simply click on an empty space on the board, or make an illegal move.
