Frequently Asked Questions
How do I start a game with a specific friend?
You can create a private match and share the link or code with your friend. They can join directly through that invitation.
What happens if I make an illegal move?
The game prevents illegal moves, so you can only move pieces to valid squares. If you try, nothing will happen, and you'll need to select another piece or destination.
Can I play against a computer if I want to practice?
While this version focuses on two-player matches, you can always practice against a friend or use the matchmaking to find a human opponent. Some similar games offer bot opponents, but here it's mainly human vs. human.
Is there a time limit for each move?
No, the game does not impose a clock, so you can take your time to think. However, your opponent is waiting, so be considerate and try to keep the game flowing.
How are draws and stalemates handled?
The game automatically detects stalemates, threefold repetition, and the fifty-move rule, and it will declare a draw accordingly. You can also agree to a draw if both players want.
What should I do if the game freezes or has a technical issue?
If the game stops responding, try refreshing the page. If the problem persists, you may need to reconnect, and the match will resume from the last confirmed move.
