Good luck if you like speed chess! Pieces drag...hard to move and sometimes end up on the wrong square. System overloads due to too many new players also occur. Time cheaters everywhere. But you can watch Magnus Carlsen! Owned by people who are very political too. ( chess chat is for a "free Palestine!")
Hello, in Settings you can choose your preferred method to move the chess pieces. If you prefer to click twice instead of dragging pieces, that option is available!
