Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

There are rare occasions when promoting to a knight is best, due to it forking the opposing king and queen for example. More often found in puzzles than reality!

Jules, I've just played a game against a computer and WON. I used the ladder technique with my 2 queens (I made sure promoting a pawn to a queen would be safe) to make their King move down the board and I kept one of their pawns, even though it was an easy take, so they had an alternative move to make.

It's quite thrilling to see it all fall into place, instead of my usual move a piece and hope for the best :)
Thank you so much for your tutoring.

I beat the snowman bot in two moves the other day 😂
Usually I’m chasing pieces around but can eventually beat the lower ranked bots

Goofee - I was proud of my play to get that Stalemate - probably the last game where I played well

You did well!

I've been trying some bullet chess, good grief I'm bad! The only game I've won is because the opponents connection went down for about a minute.
