About Chess Online

Chess Online is a browser-based tactics game hosted on LemonArcade, playable for free without installing anything. The depth reveals itself slowly — the more you play, the more options you see. You can even share the keyboard with a friend — the game includes a local two-player mode. As with all LemonArcade games, no blocker gets in the way — it plays anywhere, Chromebooks included.

How to play Chess Online

Make better decisions than the opposition, turn by turn or wave by wave. On mobile, the on-screen touch controls take over — tap to select and move pieces. The first minutes are the tutorial; after that, the game expects you to keep up.

• Left Mouse Click — select and move pieces

Tips to get better at Chess Online

• Play defensively while you learn — surviving mistakes teaches more than fast wins.
• A decent plan executed fully beats a perfect plan changed halfway through.
• Do not over-extend — the most common losing move is attacking one step too far.
