How to Command the Board
The ancient game of kings is at your fingertips. The controls are simple and designed to let you focus entirely on your strategy.
- Controls: Use your mouse or finger on a touch screen to play. Click on a piece to select it and see its possible moves highlighted. Click on a valid highlighted square to move the piece.
- Objective: The goal of chess is to put your opponent's King in a state of "checkmate," where it is under attack (in "check") and has no legal moves to escape.
- Game Modes: You can choose to play against a challenging computer AI with adjustable difficulty levels, or you can play against a friend on the same device in a classic two-player showdown.
The Grandmaster's Gambit
I'm new to chess. Is this a good place to start?
Absolutely. Chess Grandmaster is the perfect training ground. The ability to play against an AI at lower difficulty levels allows you to learn the fundamentals without pressure. The visual move indicators that appear when you select a piece are a fantastic learning tool, helping you to quickly memorize how each piece—from the humble pawn to the powerful queen—can move. This makes it one of the best fun games for sharpening your mind.
What are some basic strategies a beginner should know?
Three things are key for new players. First, 'Control the Center.' Pieces in the center of the board control more squares and have more mobility. Second, 'Develop Your Pieces.' In the opening, you should aim to get your knights and bishops off their starting squares and into the game. Third, 'Castle Early.' Castling is a special move that tucks your king away into safety and brings your rook into the action. Master these, and you're on your way.
Can I play against another person?
Yes, you can! The game features a robust two-player mode that allows you to play against a friend or family member using the same device. It's the perfect way to enjoy a classic board game experience without needing a physical set. These kinds of multiplayer matchups are staples on major gaming portals like Poki.
How does the AI difficulty work?
The AI opponent has several difficulty settings. At lower levels, the computer will play less optimally, occasionally making tactical errors that you can capitalize on. At higher levels, the AI becomes a formidable opponent. It will calculate many moves in advance, pounce on any mistake you make, and execute complex strategies. It's a fantastic way to find a challenging match no matter your skill level.
