How to play chess on AxomiyaTools
Tap a piece to see its legal moves, then tap a highlighted square to move. All the rules are built in — castling, en passant, check, checkmate, stalemate and draws by repetition — so you can focus on the game.
Playing with friends and family
Chess is a great way to stay in touch with friends and relatives in other towns. Create a game, send the link on WhatsApp, and you are playing within seconds. The board turns around for the player with black, so both of you see your own pieces at the bottom.
Tips for beginners
- Control the centre squares early with your pawns and knights.
- Develop knights and bishops before moving your queen out.
- Castle early to keep your king safe.
- Before every move, check what your opponent is threatening.
