Ever Wanted to Play Chess Against a Computer Online?

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).

You castle by selecting the king as you normally would, then selecting the appropriate square (B1 for long side castle or G1 for short side castle), provided that none of your pieces are obstructing the path. Sometimes the game will not let you castle and your pieces are in the appropriate positions to do so. This could be for several reasons, as there are other rules for castling. You cannot castle if you cross the line of action of your opponents piece. Also, you cannot castle out of check, into check (obviously), or once you have already moved your king.
