Chess Online

Chess Online puts a beautiful carved chess set in front of you, on a walnut table, in a cozy penthouse high above a sunset city.

PLAY WITH YOUR HANDS Put the controllers down and play with your fingers: pinch a piece, lift it, and set it on a glowing square. Prefer controllers? The trigger or grip picks up. Every legal square lights up while you hold a piece.

PLAY ONLINE Press PLAY ONLINE on the table panel. Up to four players share the penthouse: two sit across the room table, two more out on the balcony. Pick up a piece to take that seat. Open a private room with a 4-digit code for friends.

PLAY THE COMPUTER Four levels from Beginner to Master. It lifts and glides its own pieces across the board. UNDO takes a move back and HINT shows a good move.

EVERY RULE Castling, en passant, promotion (you choose the piece), check, checkmate, stalemate and every draw rule. Your game is saved and waits for you.

THE SET AND THE ROOM Boxwood and ebony Staunton pieces with felt bases, an inlaid maple and walnut board with brass coordinates, a stone fireplace with a real fire, bookcases, leather chairs, five skies and your own music. FIT ME sets the table to your height.

Controls: pinch or trigger/grip to pick up, press panel buttons with a fingertip or the controller tip, B = online menu, stick to move, snap turn.
