About Arcforge Chess Deluxe
Chess Deluxe is chess made carefully: a polished wooden board with glossy hand-drawn pieces, a computer opponent you can trust, and a coach that helps you improve.
PLAY

- Pass & Play for two people on one device.
- Watch & Learn: two computers play while a commentary explains each move in plain words.
- Clocks with increments, undo, hints and an evaluation bar.
- Full rules: castling, en passant, promotion, stalemate, threefold repetition, the fifty-move rule and insufficient material.
