How the Chess Pieces Move

Chess Ages 6 to 10 Free, no account

Tap every square it can reach. It is one of the chess games on Smarties.

How it works

A piece appears somewhere on a real eight by eight board. The child taps every square it could move to, and each right one turns green with a dot on it. The question is not finished until all of them are found.

A wrong square shakes and carries a cross. Three levels add pieces rather than replacing them: the rook and the bishop first, then the queen and the pawn, and the knight last.

What is in it: All six pieces and every square each one can reach, on positions the game sets up fresh each round.
