CyberChess is a futuristic chess game that uses standard chess rules with ranked and unranked AI or online play, featuring persistent progression through rating (ELO) and ranks. Select your configuration, choose your side, then start the match. Battle it out!
Protect your King while attacking the enemy King. Victory is achieved by checkmate: the enemy King is in check and has no legal escape. While material advantage is important, remember that checkmating the enemy King is the only way to win. Alternatively, if winning is not possible, you can try to force a Draw through stalemate.
Games ending in Stalemate (you have no legal moves but your King is not in check) are counted as a Draw. In Ranked games, a draw is calculated as a win on which a 'Draw Penalty' is applied. If more than 100 turns (50 full moves) have taken place without any pawn movement nor any capture, you or your opponent may offer a draw by clicking the 'Offer Draw' button when it becomes available. Your opponent is free to accept or reject your request.
Each chess piece has its own movement rules. Select a piece to display its available moves. Pawns may promote when they reach the opposite side of the board. You can use tooltips to learn more about pieces and their functions.
Castling, en passant captures, promotion and stalemate are enabled. A stalemate occurs when a player has no legal moves while their King is not in check.
To leave Cyberchess and return to the main landing page for Cyberchess Portal games, you can simply click the Cyberchess logo in the top left-end corner of your screen (computers) or at the top of your screen (phones and tablet devices).
Tooltips can be turned on or off by clicking the tooltips button right under the sound mixer. To inspect a piece, you can hover your mouse over it for a second. On mobile devices you can long-press any piece on the board to inspect it.
Guests may play Unranked vs AI. Registered players can access ranked AI and online PvP modes. Ranked AI uses only competitive profiles rather than experimental AI personalities. PvP play is available through ELO-based matchmaking and friend-code sharing. Play against your friends or test your skills against the best Cyberchess players!
AI search strength increases with rating. Higher-rated opponents calculate deeper and may require considerably more time to complete difficult turns. At Depth 5, the AI may calculate up to 5 million potential positions. Depending on your hardware, some turns may take up to 25 seconds to compute.
Rating gains and losses depend partly on the relative rating of both opponents. Chess AI and online PvP maintain separate ranked progression. Ranked play is available to all registered users. There are daily limits in place for non-Premium users.
If you or your opponent get disconnected during a PVP game, the match fill be frozen. The disconnected player has 90 seconds to reconnect. If the disconnecter player has not returned after the grace period, the remaining player is free to cancel the match. Canceled matches do not incur any penalties for the connected player. The disconnected player receives a full loss.
Cyberchess Portal ELO ratings and ranks are designed purely for Cyberchess' own progression system and do not correspond to any official FIDE-approved ELO rating system. ELO calculations are made using our own in-house calculation method.
