Check out Atomic Chess, our featured variant for November, 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.

If you had a Java-capable browser, you could play 007 Detente Chess here.
Keys "s"=save "l"=load "b"=back once

Move three times each turn. First a friendly unit, then an enemy unit, then a friendly unit. For your third move, you must move a different unit from the first if you can, and you must not capture the enemy unit you just moved.
