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.

Ralph Betza 1993. In this co-chess variant, you must move any non-royal unit on a cosquare to another vacant square.

I have not yet implemented the option to plan "illegal" moves which generate cosquares and transportations to get the king out of check.

I have allowed the machine, though not the human player, to forego moving units on cosquares.

This is supposed to be the favorite form of cochess.
