How to Play
To play you have to touch the chess piece you want to move, and then touch the square where you want to move the piece.
You can select any piece by touching it. Then you can select any square wich represents a legal movement for the piece you have selected. After touching it, the piece will move there.
If a player advances a pawn to its eighth rank, the pawn is then promoted (converted) to a queen, rook, bishop, or knight of the same color at the choice of the player (a queen is usually chosen). When you promote a Pawn you can select the piece from the small menu under the game. Q:Queen, R:Rook, K:Knight, B:Bishop.
To do enpassant capture just move the pawn in a diagonal after it is passed by the black pawn in the 5th rank. To castle your King, in long or short castle, just move it two squares in the selected direction.
You can undo any move, or sequence of moves by using the ◀ control under the board.
You can swap the board to play with black pieces using the ▲ control under the board.
To select the level of the chess engine touch the number 1 under the board. The chess engine has 5 levels, starting at 0. The top level is 4. In the top levels the chess engine will use more time to move.
The board can be used as a normal chess board to play against a second player in the same device. Just touch the phone icon. The board will switch to two player mode. Viceversa if you touch the player icon the chess engine will play against itself.
In the chess puzzle mode you will be presented with a mate in one position. You are playing against the chess engine, if you dont make the mate, the game will continue and the chess engine will play as black.
In the chess puzzle mode you can use the engine to solve the puzzle. Just touch the player icon and the engine will play white.
