Time together, well spent

Chess

Chess Club brings the familiar board into Duemello. Choose a piece, inspect its legal moves and take turns with a friend. The game suits a longer, thoughtful break rather than a race against a timer.

Play Chess Club Free browser game · About 20 minutes

Two people who enjoy strategy, on one device or in a private room.

How to play chess

  1. Open Chess Club and choose the piece you want to move.
  2. Select a highlighted legal destination. The other side then takes its turn.
  3. Protect your king, respond to check and look for a checkmate. Use a private room when you are on separate devices.

A useful way to start

Develop your pieces before moving the same one repeatedly. Before every move, check whether your opponent can capture an undefended piece or threaten your king.

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.
