SparkChess is a free online chess game that allows you to practice chess against the computer or to engage in multiplayer online challenges. To play online, you need to have Adobe Flash Player 10 installed and Javascript enabled in your browser.
SparkChess is an excellent way to get better at chess - learn the proper rules (including the elusive en-passant), practice openings, test strategies, use the board editor to recreate famous positions via FEN strings, replay famous games, import/export via PGN and let the computer help you. With four levels of difficulty and a behavior modeled to make human mistakes, this is a fun game to play, not a frustrating one. Our online chess game also features an opening database created by analysing 145,000 games from international tournaments, PGN (with comments and annotations) and FEN support and replay.
With the multiplayer feature, you can put your skills to the test against other players like you!
