To move a chess piece it is one click (mouse button press and release) to pick up a piece and a second mouse click to place it to the new position. For mobile devices, it is the same except replace the previous instruction with tap instead of a click.

Your online name will be remembered the next time you visit the website.
play online by opening the ONLINE PLAYERS list and clicking on a player name to challange. The online player can accept or reject your request.
To play chess against the computer offline, change one of the 'Player:' drop-down box, for Black or White, to 'Computer' and the computer will begin to play and make its move during its turn. Note for local vs. Computer games you don't have to have the chess board in the start position. You can position the board as you want while both 'Player:' drop-down boxes are set to 'Human and then change one of them to 'Computer' and thus the AI will continue playing from that position. You can also change both Black's and White's 'Player:' drop-down boxes to 'Computer' to get the AI to play against itself.
The new ‘IS CONTINU GAME’ feature enables you to start an online chess game with another online opponent using the current state of your chess board as the starting point. This means that a player can set up the board as they want and then challenge an online player to a game starting from that point. The player receiving the request can decline the match if they think the starting position chosen is unfair. If they choose to accept the game request, the chess match continues from that point on like a typical chess game. This feature can be used with the save move list feature to continue a game that you were not able to finish.

The website automatically records how many games you have won, lost or obtained a draw. The scores are located at the top of the panel on the left. If you click the icon next to the scores you will get more details about your game play and current rank. Note all data is stored locally via cookies and so this works without the need to sign-up. Currently we use scores to rank players instead of calculating an ELO rating based on the scores. We thought this would make it easier for people new to the game to understand another players level.
At the top of the webpage you will see a scrolling message display showing the top 5 players that are currently online. This means those are the players with the most games won.
