Since Java is no longer supported in most browsers, our Java applets probably will not run unless you install an extension that will run them. 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.

Carnivore Chess

If you had a Java-capable browser, you could play Carnivore Chess here.
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

Origins unknown. The carnivore is an uncapturable piece which moves as a king. Move the carnivore before your ordinary move. I had White start without moving the carnivore.
