Chess Friends Online
Theodora Glime
In this area, you can play online chess easily and free of charge as a guest. Set up a new game with your own mode and challenge other players to a game, or accept a match offer from the available list. On our website, you can play the classic board game of chess against the computer, friends or any other random opponent. If you choose the chess program, then the game duration and skill level can be configured by the chess computer at different levels, from easy to difficult. The game level will be matched and configured specifically for you. By training with the chess computer, you can retract a move that you have just made. We will not provide any further explanation of how to play chess at this point, as we assume that you are already familiar with the rules of this royal game. If you do not know the rules of chess, then we would recommend that you read them in order to obtain a basic understanding of this strategic board game. We hope that you and your friends have lots of fun and good practice on our chess server.
I started playing chess with Fran Farrell about ten years ago, shortly after I learned he had been diagnosed with ALS. At the time when we began playing, we were more acquaintances than friends, but regular play brought us closer together. After I heard about his diagnosis, I proposed that we start playing as often as we could, as I knew that ALS would eventually wreak havoc on his body, but his mind would remain sharp and alert, something that you needed when playing chess. At first, we played actual games over a board, but when his arms began to fail him, we switched to online play, first on the app Chess with Friends and then eventually on Chess.com, which he could handle better with eye-gaze technology. He gave himself the name Bridgepoint, after the street on which he lived, and I gave myself the name LHOOQ, after the five letters that the artist Marcel Duchamp wrote below an image of the Mona Lisa (that artist having been the specialty of my studies in art history, as Duchamp was himself an avid chess player).
SparkChess is an excellent way to get better at chess - learn the proper rules (including the elusive en-passant), practice openings, test strategies, use the board editor to recreate famous positions with FEN strings, replay famous games, import/export PGN games and databases (with comments and annotations) and let the computer help you. With 5 levels of difficulty and a behavior modeled to make human mistakes, this is a very fun game to play. Our online chess game also features an opening database created by analysing 145,000 games from international tournaments. 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.
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. You can filter out opponents based on different criteria. The multiplayer service is child-friendly. If you don't feel like playing, you can now just watch live games as they unfold.
SparkChess has won many awards and it was featured by Google, Blackberry and Adobe for its cross-platform capabilities. You can download SparkChess for PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android phones and tablets.

This is the end game between Alexander Flamberg and Oldrich Duras from their meeting at Opatija in 1912. Duras, with the black pieces, obtains a victory against Flamberg just in two. Can you figure out his strategy?
Its primary goal is to allow two persons to play a round of chess, no matter whether they happen to be at the same location or on a different continent. It's designed to be platform independent and to run on every computer or smart phone equipped with a modern web browser and thus enabling people everywhere around the globe to play chess, at home and on the go, online and offline.
When playing, you can se a little light bulb (?) on the bottom left, allowing you to switch on 'awareness mode'. This special mode colorizes the fields depending on which player has more pieces that can access it: Green means that white has more control over a field and red means black. Blue means both players have an equal number of pieces that can possibly strike on it. The richer and darker the color, the more pieces have access.
The color code is not a recommendation which fields to move on, it's not artifical intelligence or anything of the like. You still have to use your brains, the color code just helps you not to overlook anything.
Its minimalistic approach sets it apart from most of the other chess implementations on the internet. They usually use browser plugins like Adobe Flash or even client software to realize the game itself and offer a variety of features around it: news, riddles, communities and dozens of little gadgets.
Due to this complexity they often take a lot of clicks to get a game started, they tend to react slowly and are often cluttered with ads. Some even require registration fees in order to be able to play a game. PlainChess is free, fast and built on modern web technologies but on the other hand also passes on features beyond basic gameplay.
Spread the word, tell your friends and enemies about PlainChess; twitter, blog or write letters about it. Share it on your social networks. Send me an e-mail. Have a look at the code and add new features.
The game engine is written in JavaScript and relies on the frameworks jQuery and jQuery UI, which means that offline games can be played without internet connectivity (this would be interesting for a smart phone optimized version with HTML5 manifest).
I'm Tim Wlfle from Germany and wanted to try out the new possibilities HTML5 technologies offer. At the same time I wanted to play a quick round of chess with a friend on the internet, but didn't find anything that would allow me to start right away and without registration.
Kids can learn how to play chess with Chess With Friends, but not through instructions or tutorials, because the app is lacking in these areas. Instead, through playing with others, they may be able to pick up the rules and strategies of the game. A nice feature of Chess With Friends is the replay, so kids can review past moves and learn from them. Kids can also benefit from playing a live opponent, and the chat feature lets players talk to each other. Like the board game, it's a good brain-flexing app. If Chess With Friends offered a good tutorial, it would be more accessible to kids who don't know how to play chess but want to learn.
Chess With Friends is fairly simple to use but does not offer much in the way of chess tutorials. Touching a chess piece will highlight the locations it can move to, and it is easy to scroll backward to see all of the moves that have been made previously.
Parents need to know that Chess With Friends is a chess app that allows local games or online games against friends and random opponents. As part of the Zynga With Friends game series (along with Words With Friends, Scramble With Friends, Hanging With Friends, and more), it's a social game that includes unmoderated chat with your opponent; there is no option do disable chat.
Although the title is CHESS WITH FRIENDS, in reality you can play with friends or strangers. The app is simple and streamlined -- find an opponent (either two players sharing a device or online multiplayer) and then start a game. The app can notify you when it's your turn, and the board is always turned so that it faces the active player. One handy feature is being able to step backward in time to see all the previous moves, allowing you to play back a game in progress. There is also a chat screen that allows players to send messages to each other.
A little niche, this one, but I'm not the only geek who enjoys a game of chess online. And, having reviewed Chess Online+ UWP favourably a few years ago, for Windows 10 Mobile, I wanted to mention that it has stopped working but that you can carry on playing via the host web site. Chess Online+ was a front end to Chess with Friends and at the time I commented on how much more enjoyable the experience was compared to playing via the Edge browser. Sadly, the host web site has been changing its code and Chess Online+ no longer works, as shown below. Happily, chessfriends.com still works pretty well in Edge, so all is not lost - you can keep your rating, 'gold', and more, with your usual login details.
Chess, the game of kings, has fascinated and connected people of all countries and cultures for many centuries. But equally, man has long longed for an artificial game partner when there was no human player available.
While the so-called "Schachtrke" in 1769 by Wolfgang von Kempelen was just a mechanical trick, today there are no limits to our possibilities: We can compete offline against the artificial intelligence of a chess computer or play online against other people from all over the world via platforms on the Internet.
Play online chess on your Millennium Board. Play with friends from all over the world with our free ChessLink app. Simply download it from the Google Play Store or App Store and connect to your board.
Intensive travel preparation, financing, hours of travel to the venues and huge halls where hundreds of chess players duel. All this has been a thing of the past for the time being since the Corona lockdowns. But out of necessity, a whole new format emerged: hybrid chess. Without further ado, chess tournaments were held online via platforms like Tornelo. Locally appointed referees ensure fair games.
