Chess
Play chess against the computer, a friend on the same screen, or a private online game, with clocks, move review and PGN export.
Chess in the browser for casual players. Play the computer at three levels, share a screen with a friend, or send an invite link for a private online game. Games resume where you left them.
Where do I open Chess?
Open Chess at https://chess.nubosuite.tech or from the Apps tab in Nubo Home. You sign in once with your Nubo account for every app; see Create an account and sign in.
What can Chess do?
- Three levels. Easy, Medium or Hard computer opponent.
- Online invite. Private game by code or link, with resign and rematch.
- Clocks. Bullet, Blitz and Rapid with increment, or none.
- Resumes. A game in progress survives a reload.
Every rule, including the odd ones
Castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, threefold repetition, the fifty-move rule and insufficient material are all handled.
Time controls that stay fair
The clock starts with the first move. Running out of time loses, unless your opponent cannot possibly mate, which is a draw. Online, each side sends its own clock.
