How to play

1. Move: tap one of your pieces, then a marked square (or drag the piece there). A green dot is a free square; a red ring is a capture.
2. Pieces: rook moves straight; bishop diagonally; queen both; king one square; knight in an L, jumping; pawn one square forward (two on its first move) and captures diagonally.
3. Check: a king under attack must be saved at once. Win by checkmate.
4. Special moves: castling, promotion and en passant.
5. Draw: stalemate, insufficient material, threefold repetition or the 50-move rule.

Tips

• Start in the center: e4 and d4 open lines for your pieces.
• Develop knights and bishops before the queen and castle early.
• Before each move, look at checks, captures and threats, yours and your opponent's.
• With extra material, trade pieces. In the endgame, bring your king.
