About Solitaire Chess

Solitaire Chess is an addictive puzzle game vaguely based on chess, but you don't have to be a grandmaster to play it. The rules are simple - move your pieces the same way as in chess, performing an obligatory capture every turn. The objective is to capture all pieces on the board leaving just a sole one standing. Knowing chess rules is not required - the game has a built-in tutorial and a cheat-sheet for moves.

Fans of card will feel at home, and the classic elements give it extra range. Pick it up for a short break or settle in for a while — it runs well on phone, tablet, and desktop alike.

If you want to do well, keep this in mind: When the deck is thin, force your opponent into bad draws by holding key cards. Plan two moves ahead; the obvious play now often blocks your better play next turn.

Give Solitaire Chess a run on Glaze Games: a free, browser-based card game you can pick up in seconds and put down just as easily.
