The whole game, properly: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate and the fifty-move rule. You play white and move first. Pick how hard the opponent thinks before you sit down.
The same walkthrough the table opens with — you can replay it in the game at any time.
You are white and you move first. Take the opponent's king — trap it so it cannot escape — and the game is yours.
Click one of your pieces and every square it may reach lights up; a ring means a capture. Only legal moves appear, so a move that would leave your king in check is never offered.
A king under attack is highlighted in red and you must answer it. Every move is written down beside the board in the usual notation.
Castling, en passant and promotion are all here — push a pawn to the last rank and you choose what it becomes. Good luck!
