Chess Free - Échecs

Protecting your king and trapping the opposing king define Chess Free - Échecs. The description gives the standard eight-by-eight board and sixteen starting pieces per side: a king, queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops and eight pawns. Its stated objective is checkmate, an attack the opposing king cannot escape.

The source calls chess a two-player strategy game, but does not explain this version's friend menu or computer options. It also gives no time controls or difficulty list. The reliable interface detail is the highlighted destination system, which helps show where a selected piece is permitted to move.

Chess Free - Échecs asks you to click a piece, inspect the possible tiles shown in blue or green, then click one of those tiles to move. No additional keyboard shortcuts are supplied, so make your selections through the board interface. Before choosing a highlighted destination, check what it exposes around your king. A legal move is not automatically a safe one, and looking at the opponent's reply is useful practice while you work toward the clearly stated goal of checkmate.
