Chess
A fresh opening every day, the same one for everyone. Play it out and try to win.
All rules
Rule 01Everyone starts from the same position.
Today's board picks up a few moves into a real opening, and every player in the world gets that same position. The name of the opening is shown above the board.
Rule 02Tap a piece, then tap where it goes.
Legal destinations appear as dots. Tapping anywhere else changes your selection, so nothing is committed until you choose a marked square.

Rule 03Ordinary chess rules, all of them.
Castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, the fifty-move rule and threefold repetition all apply. A pawn reaching the far rank asks what it should become.
Rule 04Play again as often as you like.
A loss or a draw does not close the day. Press Clear to take the same position again — the day counts as solved once you win it.
