Checkmate your opponent's king.

How to play MChess

MChess is classic chess in your browser. The goal is to checkmate your opponent's king: attack it so that it cannot escape capture.

Each side starts with sixteen pieces. Pawns move forward, rooks move in straight lines, bishops move diagonally, knights jump in an L shape, the queen combines rook and bishop moves, and the king steps one square at a time. Pieces capture by landing on an enemy piece.

Control the centre, develop your pieces early and keep your king safe. A game can also end in a draw, for example by stalemate.
