We recommend installing the CheerpJ Applet Runner extension on Edge, Chrome, or another Chromium browser. If your browser still does support Java, and you're not using this extension, make sure this site is listed in your Java exceptions list. You should find this in the Security tab of your Java control panel.

Chris Taylor, 1979. Capture is by checkmating a unit, i.e., setting up a position in which the piece could not be rescued according to the rules of FIDE chess. Placing one's own king in check is legal. Win by checkmating the opponent's king.
