Flass Chess Overview
Flass Chess was one of those straightforward chess games you'd find during the Flash era. It appeared online when browser-based games were common, offering a quick way to play without any physical board. The interface was simple, just a grid and pieces waiting for a move.
You control the white or black pieces, taking turns with either a computer opponent or another person. Each turn involves clicking a piece to select it, then clicking an empty square or an opponent's piece to move or capture. The main goal is to checkmate the opponent's king, trapping it so it cannot escape capture. Recognizable mechanics include castling to safeguard your king and pawn promotion when a pawn reaches the far side of the board. The pacing is deliberate, with the difficulty often adjustable to suit your skill level. It feels like a quiet, focused test of patience and foresight.
