How to play: the essentials
- White moves first; players then alternate one move at a time.
- Choose a piece and a legal square. You cannot leave your own king in check.
- Watch the clock and distinguish check, checkmate and drawn positions.
These rules introduce the platform’s version. Check table settings and legal moves inside your game.
