Here is a brief overview about how to use our free chess game to get better at your strategy and style in play.

The difference in the AI playing modes

The first thing you will see when the free chess page opens is a question about whether or not you want to play shallow or deep AI. The AI is set to adjust to your style of playing, so you don’t have to choose a challenge level. It is also designed to take maximum advantage of the processing power of your computer. If you bring your mouse over either word you will see a description of what type of processor it is designed for (Pentium II or III). Don’t worry if you don’t know, it’s easy to figure out.
