Chess impossible

How to play

Royal Chess Arena is classic chess in the browser. Choose Play vs Computer or Pass & Play, pick a difficulty and start the match. White moves first. Tap one of your pieces, then tap a valid square to move it. Checkmate the opposing king to win.

Modes

• Play vs Computer: difficulty goes from Easy all the way to Impossible.
• Pass & Play: two players share one device and take turns.
• Board and piece themes let you change the look of every match.

Tips

If you are learning, start on Easy and move up one level at a time once you win comfortably. Pass & Play is a good way to practice openings with a friend, since you can talk through each move on the same screen.

• Before every move, check which of your pieces the opponent is attacking.
• Develop your knights and bishops early and keep your king safe.
• Look for checks and captures first: they are the moves that change a game fastest.
