Petersburg Chess

About the game

The game was written to popularize a variant called "Petersburg Chess". This variant was played by some St. Petersburg chess players in the mid-nineties. The game is intended for people familiar with the rules of chess. The game has ten difficulty levels, and the first three are designed to familiarize you with the rules of the game.

How to play

In the game, you play against an average artificial intelligence player. To win the game, you need to mate the black king. The fewer moves you spend, the more points you will get. The red bar is proportional to your best score for the current level and the green bar is proportional to the current score. During the game, the possible cells that the figure you selected can go to are marked by red circles.
