Frequently asked questions
Is this chess game free to play?
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser, free, with no account, no ads, and no tracking. All move computation happens on your device.
Do I need to download anything?
No. The chess engine is bundled into the page, so it works offline once loaded, and nothing you do is sent to a server.
Can I change the difficulty?
Yes — choose Easy, Medium, or Hard before or after starting. Harder levels search deeper for a stronger opponent.
Legal & Accuracy Notice: This chess game is provided for entertainment and education. It is a self-contained client-side program with no data collection and no network calls. The bundled engine is a simple heuristic search, not a champion-strength opponent. Pryxel provides no warranty as to its play. No personal data is collected.
