About Chess Free - Échecs

At the opening, each side controls eight pawns plus a king and queen, with pairs of rooks, bishops, and knights completing the 16-piece set. Victory is defined by checkmate, when the rival king faces capture without an available escape. When you select a piece, available destination tiles appear in blue or green, allowing you to choose the next square before completing the move.

Objective: Checkmate the opposing king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture.
