What is Chess Pro

Step onto the 64 squares and put your foresight to the test. Chess Pro brings a classic challenge to your screen with adaptable opponents and a polished interface.

How to Play

Select a piece with your mouse or finger, then move it to a highlighted square to make your turn. The goal is to checkmate the enemy king while keeping your own safe from capture.

Tips for Playing

  • Control the central four squares early to give your pieces more room to maneuver.
  • Castle your king early to tuck it behind a wall of pawns and connect your rooks.
  • Keep your queen back until the board opens up; an early charge often backfires.
  • Before each move, check what your opponent's last play threatens.
  • Practice against weaker AI to try new openings, then crank up the difficulty to test them.
