If you don't know how to play chess, there's an excellent Rules section in the game. No problem! You can watch an instant replay of the match up to that point.Ĭlick the REPLAY button on the right side of the chess board, and you'll see the entire game replayed move by move. Suppose you've been playing against the computer awhile and can't quite recall how the pieces wound up in their current configuration. This is a neat feature of this chess game. To do so, simply click the UNDO button on the right side of the game board.Įach time you click the UNDO button, one move is undone, in reverse chronological order. You can undo your moves and the computer's moves. This reverts the board to a previous point in time. If you don't like the way the chess game is progressing (i.e., if you're losing badly), you have the option to undo some of the moves. The vertical direction is labeled numerically, 1 through 8. The horizontal direction is labeled alphabetically, A through H. The chess board is standard size, 8 squares wide and long. This means that White ("W") moved a piece from location E2 to location E4 on the chess board. This Game Record section follows the same chess notation as you would find in a book on chess moves.įor example, suppose you see W: E2 → E4 in the Game Record. The right side of the game screen displays the moves taken so far during the game. The piece moves, then the computer takes a turn. Next click the square where you want the piece to land. To move, first click the piece you want to move (for example, a pawn or a knight). The game loads with you as White (first move) at the bottom.
