Online and offline games with an appointed partner.I want a list, what features do you offer? PlainChess is free, fast and built on modern web technologies but on the other hand also passes on features beyond basic gameplay. Some even require registration fees in order to be able to play a game. They usually use browser plugins like Adobe Flash or even client software to realize the game itself and offer a variety of features around it: news, riddles, communities and dozens of little gadgets.ĭue to this complexity they often take a lot of clicks to get a game started, they tend to react slowly and are often cluttered with ads. Its minimalistic approach sets it apart from most of the other chess implementations on the internet. Why yet another chess implementation, what makes PlainChess different? It was originally published in January 2011 and as of March 2013 its code is open source and licensed under the GPL Version 3 license. It's designed to be platform independent and to run on every computer or smart phone equipped with a modern web browser and thus enabling people everywhere around the globe to play chess, at home and on the go, online and offline. Its primary goal is to allow two persons to play a round of chess, no matter whether they happen to be at the same location or on a different continent.
PlainChess aims to be a simple yet full–featured and beautiful alternative to the cluttered chess portals currently existing.
