Chess Online Against Computer

Ever Wanted to Play Chess Against a Computer Online?

Here is a chance to play chess online against a basic chess computer.  This computer chess program was written to run in flash, but it still gives a decent game. This is a free game, uses a 3d chess board and needs no download. Could it be the best free online chess program out there?

If you want a tougher game then try some of the other computer chess engine download links on this site. Almost any UCI chess engine from Jim Ablett’s page will give an incredibly strong game, or you could download the Crafty chess computer which is also available with its own graphical user interface.

ATTENTION

If you are experiencing difficulty loading the game and playing chess online read this.

To play chess you must both install flash and then enable it your browser.

For example, in Chrome, after flash installation click on settings -> “advanced” and scroll down to “content settings” click this and then enable flash there.

You must complete BOTH downloading flash and enabling it in your browser for the chess game to work and be visible!

If after performing both actions the game still does not appear, then hard refresh your browser cache (control-F5 on Chrome).

      If you like to invest time and effort in memorizing the most frequent opening moves and check mate patterns, good for you.

      But please don’t brag. You’ll make simpletons like myself jealous.

    The difference between casual and advanced is astronomical. Casual took me 2 minutes 46 seconds for checkmate, still working on advanced.

    Hi I clicked on ‘beginner’ as I have no idea how to play. It goes straight in without any explanation. I do not have a clue what is happening or why.

    Beginner was easy enough. Casual is a constant bother. 4 Tries. Good for the brain and mind. I am sorry I’m not the wizard the others before me are. At least I have something to look forward to. Over 65.
