Free classic board game

Available for all standards of player, Chess Online matches you with opponents who could be anywhere in the world. Play in real time against real opponents and improve your chess skills. You can also watch others play.

Test yourself against chess players around the world

Whether you want to castle and play a defensive game or are more the sort of chess player who likes to occupy the center of the board with a series of pawn exchanges to establish your dominance, Chess Online will afford you the chance to hone your strategic ideas with real players. Multiple languages are supported for a truly global game environment. You can bet with virtual coinage on the outcomes of games and play people who are ranked closely to your ability so that your game steadily improves. The two-dimensional board layout is simple but effective. You can even play against yourself with a ticking clock to improve your decision making under pressure.

A stalemate?

Chess Online is a good choice for players who know the game well and who want an extra bit of excitement from gambling on game results. It is not a good choice for beginners, however.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
