# Overview

Chess for two players at tables in the world, or alone against the computer.

Chess for two players at tables in the game world, or alone against the computer. It brings its own props (a table with the board, chairs, a chess clock and all the pieces), and everyone nearby sees the position on the board. Players move by click or by drag and drop in an interface, and every move is checked on the server.

## What you get

* **The full rules of chess**, including castling, en passant, promotion and every kind of draw.
* **A computer opponent** in three strengths, so a game can be played alone.
* **Chess clocks** with six time controls to choose from in the lobby.
* **Premoves, takebacks and hints**, a move list to step back through, arrows and marked squares.
* **Elo ratings** for games between players, and a command that shows a player their record.
* **17 custom props** with textures and collision. The pieces on the table follow the game.
* **Spectating** from beside the table, and sounds for everyone standing near.
* **Quick reactions** that appear beside your name on the board of everyone playing or watching.
* **Reconnect protection.** A player who drops out keeps the seat for two minutes.
* **An optional stake** per game, with the winner taking the pot.
* **Discord logging** for your staff: games, stakes and admin actions, posted to a channel of yours.
* **Exports and events** for your own scripts: tables, seats, ratings, standing a player up, game start and end.
* **English and German**, and every text open for translation.
