About chess & checkers games

The oldest strategy games there are, and the ones a computer plays best. The real value of a browser chess or checkers board is enforced rules: you cannot make an illegal move, so you can learn the game by playing it rather than by reading about it first.

Most include difficulty settings that are worth using — a modern engine at full strength will beat nearly anyone, and losing forty games in a row teaches very little. Related: the board category, strategy and card games.

Playnix lists 24 chess & checkers games, ordered best-first rather than alphabetically. Most sit in the board and puzzle categories. The three ranked highest right now are Master Chess Multiplayer, Checkers Legend and Chess 2D. Every one of them loads straight into the page — no download, no plugin, no account.
