How to play

  • Tap one of your pieces, then tap one of the dots to move it there. Tap the piece again to put it back down.
  • Chess: all the usual rules, including castling, en passant and choosing a piece when a pawn reaches the end. Checkmate the king to win.
  • Checkers: pieces move forward on the dark squares. If you can jump, you must, and you keep jumping while you can. Reach the far side to become a king, which moves both ways.
  • Undo takes back your last move. Flip turns the board round, handy when two people share one phone.
  • Press ⛶ Full screen to fill your phone screen.
