Find the best move
A position, a task – and you. Take your time: a wrong move is simply taken back.
Where do your stars go?
You can start right away – no account needed. Your stars are then saved only in this browser. If you clear your browser data or switch devices, they are gone.
If you sign in later, every star you have collected until then moves into your account – and from then on it is there on every device.
Win material
Grab loose pieces, then forks, skewers and pins – and finally whole combinations.
Grab loose pieces
A piece stands unprotected or can capture. See it before it gets away.
