Check out Symmetric Chess, our featured variant for March, 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.

Avalanche Chess 2

If you had a Java-capable browser, you could play Avalanche Chess 2 here.
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

Avalanche Chess probably works better if the red king and queen are switched, as they are here.
