How to play Chess

I play White against the computer, which plays Black. I tap or click one of my pieces to select it, and the legal destination squares light up with orange dots. I tap a highlighted square to move there. Pawns promote to a queen automatically when they reach the far rank.

The game enforces real chess rules, so I can only make moves that do not leave my own king in check. When my king is attacked the status line warns me about the check, and the game tells me when there is a checkmate or a stalemate. I press Restart at any time to set the pieces back up and start a fresh game.
