Chess Gambit Controls

Play locally with standard chess rules. Select a piece and then a highlighted square, or drag the piece directly.

Special moves supported: castling, en passant, and promotion. The game also detects checkmate, stalemate, threefold repetition, the fifty-move rule, and insufficient material.

FEN can save or restore a position. PGN exports the current move record.

Keyboard: use the arrow keys to move around the board, Enter or Space to select and move, and Escape to cancel a selection.

Use Immersive to hide the side console and focus on the board. Fullscreen expands the application to the entire display.

Low Power mode disables nonessential animation and glow. Diagnostics runs deterministic checks of core chess rules.
