Check out Atomic Chess, our featured variant for November, 2024.

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.

Chessky

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

How the pawn moves is determined by the dice roll.

    6=king
    5=queen
    4=rook
    3=bishop
    2=knight
    1=pawn

The object is to take all the opponent's pieces and/or leave without any move.

This is probably an old game. A similar game exists at Sveschky.

Thanks to Jeff Adamus for his helpful suggestions (August 2004).
