# What is Chesswitch?

Canonical: https://chesswitch.com/about

Chesswitch is a chess game with four ways to play: Classic, Dice Arena, Card Duel, and Evolution. You can open the browser game at play.chesswitch.com or read the English chess guides here before trying an idea on the board.

## Four ways to play chess

Classic follows standard chess rules. Dice Arena uses dice to change the available moves in a turn. Card Duel is a card-based variation. In Evolution, captures can upgrade pieces. Choose Classic when you want to practice the standard rules described in our beginner guides.

The variants are separate ways to play; their extra rules do not change standard chess. Read the instructions for your selected mode before starting a game.

## Start in your browser

The browser game offers local practice against computer opponents and same-device play, alongside account-based online play. The browser game requires JavaScript and an internet connection, including for practice. Online access and membership conditions are described in the Terms of Use.

Chesswitch is built for players who want both traditional chess and rule variants in one game. Start with a Classic practice game after reading a guide, then explore another mode when you know its rules.

## Learn a rule, then try it

The public English blog explains piece movement, castling, checkmate, en passant, promotion, opening habits, tactics, and game review. Guides include coordinate examples, practical questions, and further-reading links. No account is required to read them.
