Frequently asked questions
How do I start a game in the Playroom?
The Playroom is the place where you can play fun chess games against someone else. You can find it on the 'Play' page.
In the Playroom, you go through three steps:
- find an opponent
- negotiate which game you want to play
- let's play!
1. Find an opponent
On the home screen, you can invite other players to play against you by clicking on the username. Another player can also invite you; you will see this by the cross that appears next to a name (clicking the cross means: reject invitation).
You can also always play against a robot. The robots are recognized by the icons with red names. The robots are adaptive: their level adjusts to that of the player.
2. 'Negotiate' which game you will play
Once there is a match with an opponent, a pop-up appears with the games you can play. Then click on the game you want to play. If the other person also wants to play this game and clicks on it, the game starts automatically. If the other person clicks on a different game, you must 'negotiate' together until you agree.
3. Let's play
Play games (different or the same) against your opponent until one of you no longer wants to play.
