Check out Atomic Chess, our featured variant for November, 2024.

Since Java is no longer supported in most browsers, our Java applets probably will not run unless you install an extension that will run them. We recommend installing the CheerpJ Applet Runner extension on Edge, Chrome, or another Chromium browser. If your browser still does support Java, and you're not using this extension, make sure this site is listed in your Java exceptions list. You should find this in the Security tab of your Java control panel.

French, 1993. Get your units to the opposite side to score points. K=30, P=6, N=5, B=4, R=3, Q=2. When only one player has units left on the board, those units are added to the score. You must avoid/escape check if possible. If you still have no move, all your remaining pieces are removed.
