About the games

How a game gets on this page

How it works

From this page to a game in a few seconds

There is no process to learn. This is what happens when you tap a game.

Choose a game

Each card says what kind of game it is. Chess for a proper sit-down, puzzles or 2048 when you have five minutes.

The board opens here

No new tab, no other website. The game loads on this page and works with a mouse, a keyboard or your thumb.

Play, then come back

When a game ends you can start a new one straight away. 2048 and Sudoku keep your grid in your browser.

Tips

A few things that make the games more enjoyable

None of these games needs instruction, but a couple of habits make the first rounds better.

Pick a level you can sometimes beat

In chess, start with the gentle computer and move up once your games go your way more often than not.

Use the takeback while learning

Taking a move back against the computer is not cheating. Seeing why a move was bad is how openings get learned.

Checks, captures, threats

In the puzzles, almost every solution starts with one of the three. Run through them before you touch a piece.

Two players

Chess with a friend, on one screen

Choose “A friend, same screen” in chess and pass the phone or the mouse back and forth. Flip the board for the other player, take a move back while learning, and start again whenever you like.

Legal moves light up when you pick a piece

FAQ

Things people ask us

Mostly about chess, about what a browser needs, and about what we keep.

No. The gentle computer level is meant for beginners, the board only allows legal moves, and you can take a move back whenever you like. The puzzles start where the answer is usually a single check or capture.

No. Every game runs in the browser you already have open — there is no app, no plug-in and no download at any point.

Scroll to the games, tap the one you want, and the board opens right here on this site. Chess starts against the computer at once; the puzzles play the opponent’s move and wait for yours.

No. has no sign-up at all. 2048 and Sudoku remember your current grid in your own browser, and that is the only thing stored anywhere.

They run on this website. Chess uses an open-source rules library and engine, the puzzles come from a public collection of positions from real games, and 2048 is the original open-source game. No other site is involved when you play.

Yes. All four games adapt to a small screen and take touch input: tap a piece and then its square, swipe the 2048 board, tap a Sudoku cell and then a digit.

Yes. In chess, choose “A friend, same screen” and pass the phone or the mouse back and forth. The other three are solo games.

The first is a full game from the opening move. The second shows one position from a real game and asks you to find the best continuation — the quicker way to practise tactics when you have five minutes rather than thirty.
