Chess Game — Play Online in 3D with Friends, Free guide

The game of kings in 3D, free in your browser, with the full FIDE Laws of Chess enforced on every move. Play against the computer at four strengths, pass-and-play on one device, or create an online room: you get a Play link for a friend and a Watch link for spectators. Real chess clocks, draw offers, take backs, and a PGN export of every game. No sign-up.

How to use this tool

  1. Pick an opponent — Computer, Online friend or Pass & play — then your colour (White, Random or Black) and a time control: 1+0 bullet, 3+2 or 5+0 blitz, 10+0 or 15+10 rapid, 30+0 classical, a day per move, or unlimited.
  2. Against the computer, set the bot strength on the slider from Beginner to Master; you can also allow take backs and play a rated game, which adjusts the rating kept on this device.
  3. On your turn, tap one of your pieces: orange dots show its legal moves and red rings show captures. Tap a highlighted square to move. Pawns promote with a piece picker, and castling is played by moving the king two squares.
  4. During the game you can offer a draw, ask for a take back, flip the board, resign, or step through the move list with the arrow buttons to review any earlier position — the board returns to the live game when you step back to the end.
  5. When the game ends — checkmate, stalemate, resignation, the clock, or a draw — the end screen shows the result, time used, captures and an engine estimate of accuracy and blunders. Rematch, start a new game, or copy the PGN to save or share the score.

A worked example

Two old friends in different cities: one creates a room at 10+0 rapid, sends the Play link by message and drops the Watch link in the family chat. His brother watches every move live from his phone, the game swings on a pawn promotion in the last minute of the clock, and the loser copies the PGN, pastes it into his favourite analysis app and demands a rematch — same room, one tap.

What you can do with this tool

How it works

The board and the wooden Staunton pieces are rendered in real 3D (WebGL, via the open-source Three.js library) and generated entirely in code — no downloaded models — with a flat 2D view one tap away. One rules engine, implementing the FIDE Laws (Articles 1–9 and Appendix C notation, 2023 edition), drives every mode, so a move that is illegal over the board is impossible here: castling through check is never offered, en passant exists only on the move after a two-square advance and is refused when it would expose your king, and the engine ends games automatically on fivefold repetition, 75 moves without a pawn move or capture, and dead positions where neither side can possibly mate. Draws by threefold repetition and the fifty-move rule can be claimed with the claim button when they apply. In online rooms the host browser is the referee: it validates every move and broadcasts the position, clocks and results to the other player and spectators through a realtime database connection.

Frequently asked questions

Is Chess here free to play?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up and no limits on games, for players and spectators alike.

Do the full chess rules apply?

Yes. The engine implements the FIDE Laws of Chess: legal moves only, castling conditions, en passant, promotion to queen, rook, bishop or knight, checkmate and stalemate, draw claims for repetition and the fifty-move rule, automatic draws at fivefold repetition and 75 moves, and dead positions such as king against king.

Does my friend need an account to play?

No. Open the Play link, and you are in the other seat. If both seats are taken, the Play link makes you a spectator instead.

Can people just watch a game?

Yes — every online room has a separate Watch link. Spectators see the board, clocks and every move live, but cannot move anything.

What happens when my clock runs out?

You lose on time — unless your opponent cannot possibly checkmate you with any series of legal moves (for example they have a bare king), in which case the game is a draw, exactly as the FIDE Laws provide.

Can I save or share a finished game?

Yes. Copy PGN on the end screen puts the full game score in standard algebraic notation on your clipboard, ready to paste into any chess app, and Share uses your device share sheet where available.
