    • ♙ Pawn: One square forward, with the option to move two squares forward on the first move. Capture: One square diagonally forward.
      Pawn Promotion: When a pawn reaches the opponent's back rank, it can be promoted to a queen, rook, bishop, or knight. The choice of the new piece is up to the player. Typically, a queen is chosen as it is the most powerful piece.

    • ♘ Knight: Two squares straight, then one square perpendicular to that, or one square straight and two squares perpendicular to that. The knight can jump over both its own and the opponent's pieces.

    • ♗ Bishop: Diagonally, any number of squares, as long as no other piece blocks the way.

    • ♖ Rook: Straight, any number of squares, as long as no other piece is in the way.

    • ♕ Queen: Straight or diagonally, any number of squares, as long as no other piece blocks the way.

• Objective: Checkmate the opponent's king. This means you must attack the king in such a way that he can no longer escape without being captured.

• Move Indicator: The current player's turn is displayed beneath the chessboard.

This chess game is great for practicing and experimenting with different moves. The computer opponent is relatively easy to defeat but provides enough challenge for practice.
