Ways to play
Private invite: create a room and share the link only with your friend. Open Games: list a public table so anyone can sit down. Play Bot: start instantly against Easy, Medium, or Hard computer opponents with the same clocks and board. Spectators join via a separate watch link so watching never takes a player seat.
棋规
采用标准 FIDE 规则：将死获胜、逼和、王车易位、吃过路兵与兵升变均已支持。
A move is legal only if it does not leave your own king in check. When your king is attacked, you must escape check. Clocks count down only on your turn; if your time reaches zero, you lose on time (unless the position is already a draw by rule).
Fair play on OnlineChessLive
Every move is validated on the server with chess.js. Remaining time is owned by the server, not the browser, so clients cannot cheat the clock. If you disconnect, your clock can pause within a limited grace budget; after that budget is used up, time keeps running. Reconnecting with your session token restores your seat when possible.
Tips for a smooth game
- Use a room password whenever the invite link might leak beyond your intended opponent.
- Share the spectator link separately if friends want to watch without joining as a player.
- Pick a time control both players can finish — blitz for quick games, longer bases for thoughtful play.
- If you refresh mid-game, wait for reconnection; do not open the same seat in multiple tabs.
