## How to play

1. On a computer you play with the keyboard or the mouse — the game tells you at the start.
2. On a phone: Tap a piece to see its moves, then tap a square or drag the piece. Below the board: Undo, Hint and More (draw, resign).

## About the game

The computer has eight levels, from a patient partner that often slips up to a strong opponent that punishes every loose piece, and its strength is set by how many positions it may calculate, not by the speed of your device. A game against it takes ten to thirty minutes, and an unfinished game waits for you when you come back. While you learn, the coach asks before a move that throws away material, and you decide whether to take it back. A hint shows one good move with an arrow, and after the game a short review marks your inaccuracies, mistakes and blunders together with the move that was better. A win with no hints and no takebacks earns a gold clean win badge, and wins unlock three more boards and two more piece sets. The walnut and brass board looks like a real study table, and the classic pieces stay readable even on a small screen. For a quick break there is a daily puzzle, the same for everyone, and 350 puzzles with mate in one, two and three moves. Every puzzle has exactly one winning first move, checked by an exact search, and the game accepts any move that still forces mate. Online you send a link or a code, or pick a quick match, and the server keeps the turns honest. Instead of a chat there are four friendly reactions, and a rematch swaps the colours. All the rules are here: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, threefold repetition and the fifty move rule. The game speaks ten languages and works on phones, tablets and computers, with the board, the move list and the buttons laid out for each screen.

## Do I need to install anything

No. Chess runs in the same browser tab you are reading now. There is no store download, no account and no e-mail to give. The game is free and stays free.

Your score and progress are saved on your device, not only on our server, so you see your record when you come back.

## Before you add anything: the klyo games rules

version 2026-09-07 · [Full terms](https://games.klyo.pl/developer-terms/)

Short and plain. The full text is in the developer terms; you accept once per version and the record stays with your account.

- **Yours, not someone else's.** You upload only games and content you hold the rights to. The rights stay yours; you grant us a non-exclusive licence to show them. I confirm: I hold the rights to everything I upload here.
- **No malicious code, no third-party ads.** Crypto miners, tab hijacking, phishing, foreign ad networks: the package is rejected, a repeat closes the account. I confirm: my package has no malicious code and no third-party ads.
- **Players may record your game.** By publishing, you agree that players record clips from your game and show them on klyo — always with the game's name and a link to it. The rights to the game stay yours: this permits showing GAMEPLAY, not copying the game. Every clip sends players straight to you.
- **No rating trades.** Asking for a playtest and honest feedback: yes. Trading stars on Google Play and the App Store: no, it breaks the stores' rules.
- **Content 12+.** No pornography, hate or unlabelled realistic violence. The content questionnaire next to a game must tell the truth.
- **Reports and appeals.** Anyone can report a violation; we take content down within 24 hours with a statement of reasons, and you have two working days to appeal.
- **Money.** 70% of the ad revenue next to your game, bank transfer from 100 PLN, details only at payout, never an ID scan.

- **It is your gameplay.** You post a recording from a game you played yourself. No one else's videos, nothing taken from other services.
- **Everyone sees the caption.** No insults, threats or personal data — yours or anyone else's. The clip and the caption are public.
- **Content 12+.** No pornography, hate or realistic violence. The portal is for players of every age.
- **Reports.** Anyone can report a violation. We take content down within 24 hours with reasons, and you have two working days to appeal.
