About Master Chess

Free to play and quick to load, Master Chess is a local versus game that runs entirely in your web browser. Short rounds and simple controls make it a perfect couch-versus game. You can even share the keyboard with a friend — the game includes a local two-player mode. Like everything on LemonArcade, it is unblocked — it works at school, at work and on Chromebooks.

How to play Master Chess

Win more rounds than your opponent; every match is short enough for an instant rematch. On mobile, the on-screen touch controls take over — tap / drag — play. Expect a gentle start and a real challenge soon after.

• Mouse click a piece, then click the target square

Tips to get better at Master Chess

• Agree on the controls before starting — split-keyboard chaos is funny but costly.
• Watch your opponent as much as the ball or objective; anticipation wins duels.
• Swap sides between matches if the layout gives one player an advantage.
