Paper Chess – Schach online kostenlos

Chess drawn in biro on a crumpled sheet of paper, with animals for pieces that hop, fly and walk. Against the computer, two on one device, or online with a friend. Free.

Board and pieces are drawn in biro on a crumpled sheet of paper, and the pieces are animals: the king is a lion with a crown, the queen a phoenix, the bishop an owl, the knight a unicorn, the rook an elephant carrying a turret, the pawn a mouse. Each moves its own way: the mouse hops, the unicorn leaps, owl and phoenix fly, the elephant plods. The ones taken end up scribbled out at the side.

Every rule: castling, en passant, promotion, checkmate, stalemate and draws. Play the computer, at three levels, which scribbles its comments as it goes, two on the same phone, or online: create a game and send the link or the code to a friend.

Your games stay on your device; online, moves only travel from one player to the other.
