Objective
Checkmate the opponent’s king. A stalemate or insufficient material is a draw.
Tips for Playing Chess
- Develop knights and bishops before launching the queen.
- Castle early so the king is off the open files.
- Against the computer, watch for hanging pieces — it takes free material.
- If you invited a friend, wait until the room shows that they joined.
