You can chat with your opponents (and block/report abusive ones). If you don't feel like playing, you can now just watch live games as they unfold. The multiplayer service is child-friendly.
You can filter out opponents based on different criteria. With the multiplayer feature, you can put your skills to the test against other players like you! You can create an account or play as guest. There are 4 different board styles (a 2D diagram, two fixed 3D designs and a 3D rotatable board) to suit any style - from the playful kid to the serious tournament player. Our online chess game also features an opening database created by analysing 145,000 games from international tournaments. With 5 levels of difficulty and a behavior modeled to make human mistakes, this is a very fun game to play.
