Meet the piecesWho's who on the board?+
♙ Pawn: forward one square (two on its first move), captures diagonally.
♖ Rook: straight lines. ♗ Bishop: diagonals.
♘ Knight: jumps in an L shape. ♕ Queen: straight or diagonal.
♔ King: one square in any direction. Keep it safe!
Make a clever moveSee, think, then play+
Tap a piece, then tap a glowing destination. Try to control the middle four squares. Before moving, ask: “Can my opponent take this piece?”

Win the kingdomCheck, checkmate and draws+
Check means the king is under attack. You must make it safe.
Checkmate ends the game when the king cannot escape.
Sometimes neither side can win: that's a draw. Castling and en passant work here, too!
