Chess Games
This group mixes real chess with games built on chess movement. You get classic boards against online opponents, a puzzle where knight and rook paths paint the whole board, and a roguelike dungeon crawl commanded entirely through chess-piece moves. — 3 playable now.
If you are still learning, the puzzle variants are a gentle on-ramp: they teach how each piece moves without asking you to manage an opening. Players who want the full confrontation can jump straight into an online lobby.
Controls differ per game — some are mouse-first, others support keyboard play — and each page states them up front, along with whether the game is single or multiplayer.
