Chess
Play a proper game of chess: checks, castling, and checkmate.
Checkers
Checkers Duel is a turn-based board game built around diagonal moves, captures and promotion. It is a good next step after tic-tac-toe when you want a more involved match without learning how six different chess pieces move.

A strategy match for two, locally or through a private room.
How to play checkers
- Choose one of your pieces and select a highlighted legal square.
- Take available captures and follow the game’s legal-move highlights for any continuation.
- Advance a piece across the board to promote it, and keep playing until the game declares the result.
A useful way to start
Keep nearby pieces supporting each other. A piece pushed forward alone can be easier to capture than two pieces advancing together.
Make it a shared moment
You can take turns or discuss your next move on one device. For supported shared play across devices, open the game’s Private room control and invite one person. Both devices need an internet connection. Read how private rooms work.
