How to Play

Chess Master 3D is a 3D version of the classic game of chess that you play with only the mouse and can choose to play as a 2D top-down game. To move a piece, click on it with the Left Mouse Button and then click on the spot you want it to go. When you click on a piece, green squares will highlight the possible places the piece can move. The goal is to capture the opponent's King by trapping it with your pieces and leaving it no way out. At the same time, you'll need to protect your King.

Chess Pieces

The game works with each side taking a turn to move one piece on the board. If a piece moves through a position that another piece occupies, the occupying piece is removed from the board. Each piece has different movements:

Pawn - This piece can move one spot forward (two spots on its initial move), and can take pieces that are diagonal to the left or right of its front.
Rook - This piece can move anywhere along the X or Y axis of its position.
Knight - This piece can move two spots forward on the X or Y axis then one spot left or right (forming an L shape).
Bishop - This piece is like the Rook, but can only move diagonally.
Queen - This piece can move along the X or Y axis or any of the diagonal paths.
King - This piece can move in the same way as the Queen, but only by one spot.
