Each side takes turns moving pieces. The goal: checkmate your opponent’s king by putting it in a position where it can’t escape capture.
Each piece moves differently — pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queen, and king. Learn their strengths and how to coordinate them together.
Flash Chess 3 supports both aggressive and defensive styles. Whether you’re trading pieces or going for bold attacks, smart play wins.
Select from multiple AI levels — from casual to advanced. Start easy, then level up as your skill grows.
You can undo moves or restart games — but the real challenge is planning moves before your opponent does.
♟️ Control the Center — Place pawns and pieces where they can influence the middle of the board. It gives you more options.
🔁 Develop Early — Bring out your knights and bishops before moving the same piece twice. Save your queen for later.
🛡️ Protect Your King — Castle early to get your king to safety and connect your rooks — it’s one of the most important opening principles.
💥 Don’t Rush Trades — Always calculate the value of a trade: pawns (1), knights/bishops (3), rooks (5), queen (9). Don’t give up more than you gain.
👁️ Watch for Forks & Pins — The AI loves tactics. Stay alert to threats that attack multiple pieces at once.
🔄 Undo to Learn — Made a mistake? Use the Undo feature to understand what went wrong — it’s a great way to improve.
🧠 Think Like Your Opponent — Before each move, ask: “What would they do next?” — then try to block it.
🏆 Practice Openings — Learn a few basic openings (like Italian or Queen’s Gambit) to get off to a strong start every time.
