About Burger31 Chess
Burger31 Chess is a welcoming place to play, learn, and enjoy chess. Play a bot, share a local board, join a live room, solve the Daily Puzzle, or follow guided lessons—right from a phone, tablet, Chromebook, or computer.
Learn as you play
Daily puzzles, Story Mode, Chess Academy, hints, and game reviews explain ideas and help every player improve.
Clear and accessible
High-contrast boards, distinct SVG pieces, check indicators, move highlights, optional notation, sounds, and reduced-motion support make play easier to follow.
Accounts and community
Accounts add Elo, game records, coins, avatars, friends, and live-room features. Moderation and protected admin tools help keep the community safer.
Built for friendly competition
Burger31 Chess keeps guest play easy while giving signed-in players room to grow. The project continues to improve through fixes, new modes, and player feedback. Visit What’s New to see the latest work.
