• Check: The King is threatened with capture.
• Players must:
• Move the King.
• Block the attack.
• Capture a piece that is in check.
• Checkmate: No valid moves remaining.

Smart gameplay tips in Easy Chess

Master the movement rules

• Remember the basic movement rules: Pawns move straight to capture diagonally, Knights move in an L-shape, Bishops move diagonally, Rooks move horizontally and vertically, Queens move flexibly, and the King moves one square at a time.
• Understanding the movement rules helps you avoid unnecessary losses and build a solid position from the start.

Control the board

• Prioritize developing Knights and Bishops early, protect the King by castling, and control the center of the board.
• At the same time, observe your opponent's moves to defend and counterattack at the right time, thereby increasing your chances of winning.
