How to Play

Starting a game

Click "New game", choose mode, color, computer level, and time control. After confirmation the board is ready.

If you choose computer play, the engine replies automatically. In online play you can create a room or join an existing room code.

At first, choose a time control that lets you check the opponent threats. Blitz is good for warm-ups, but learning usually benefits from a few more minutes.

Controls

In 2D view you drag pieces on the board. In 3D view you use the interactive board, and orientation can be changed with the rotate button.

The side panel shows game status, recent moves, FEN, PGN import, and analysis tools. If the panel becomes too long, use compact mode in game settings.

After the game

After a game you can check the move history, copy PGN, run analysis, and return to a saved game from the recent games list.

The greatest value comes from returning to two or three critical positions instead of replaying the whole game without a plan. Note whether the issue was tactics, king safety, pawns, opening play, or lack of a central plan.
