Chess Arena
Free online chess. Understand your next move.
Play chess against the computer directly in your browser. Choose one of five opponents, find a comfortable level and practise without creating an account.
Training or a timed challenge?
Start in Training when you want time to think through a position. Choose Challenge for a game with a clock. The five difficulty levels let beginners and more experienced players choose a different opponent as they progress.
Chess Mind: learn from a real game
After a game, review the moves and explore the analysis when enough usable play is available. Mind Profile describes decisions in that game; Mind Coach offers practice based on the available analysis. Short or incomplete games may not provide enough evidence for a profile.
What does the strategy score mean?
It is feedback about a chess game, not an IQ result, an Elo rating or a diagnosis. Use it alongside the move review to notice a missed opportunity or try a different plan next time. Your locally saved progress does not require an account.
