How to Play Chess

1. Enter the game and switch to Auto Camera.
2. Click the "Auto Timing" red button in the center of the clock to start the game. (Ignore it if you want to use the chess clock manually.)
3. Click a piece of your side and then click the target grid to move the piece (you must follow the rules, or the piece will not move); click on your opponent's piece to capture it.
4. If you misclick or want to takeback, press the right board edge to activate the options bar, click the undo button (or AG2) to cancel your last move, or press the edit mode button (or AG3) to freeze the game and move the pieces to your desired positions.
5. After finishing the game, press AG8 twice to restore all pieces to the initial position and start your new round!

Some Tips

• It is highly recommended to use Auto Camera.
• If you are on PC, press space bar to switch sides quickly. You can also click the inner board edge to switch sides.
• Don't panic if you misclick, just press AG2 or click the undo button in the options bar.
• Edit mode also pauses the game. You can do whatever you want in edit mode, no rules! You can also press AG5 to disable moving rules.
• If you don't want auto camera's rotation, you can use the lock camera option (in the options bar or press AG7) to lock it on your preferred side. You can also change the second value in the variable setter (AutoRotate) to switch it off for good.
• Due to performance limitations, the score sheet does not record detailed steps, but you can still see how many moves you have made.
• The pen animation is annoying you? Press AG6 to disable it!
• When you start the game, the clock is set for a 10-minute match by default. You can change this by editing the first value in variable setters.
• If you are under attack, stay calm. The table is equipped with flare dispensers.
