How to play

Standard chess on the familiar 8×8 board against a computer opponent. All the usual rules apply: castling (click your king, then its destination or the rook), en passant, and promotion to the piece of your choice. Checkmate the bot's king to win; stalemate, the 50-move rule and insufficient material are draws.
