Multiplayer Chess 1.4.1

Whether you are a brave commander who aims to wipe out all enemy forces, or a wise tactician who conquer the opponent through tactics and intrigue, the historic game of Chess will surely let you sit on the edge of your chair. Your goal is to move your pieces to capture the king of your opponent. When the game starts, you will be given a chessboard with 64 squares, and each player will be assigned a set of pieces. Each set contains 1 king, 1 queen, 2 rooks, 2 bishops, 2 knights, and 8 pawns, making a total of 16 pieces. The two players will take turns to make their moves.

When an opponent's pawn makes its first move by taking 2 squares forward and it lands on a horizontally or vertically adjacent square with your pawn, you can capture that pawn immediately by moving your pawn 1 square forward diagonally. This move is called "en passant". If your pawn can reach the farthest row on your opponent's side, it will be "promoted" and transformed into a queen, a rook, a bishop or a knight of your choice. A rook can move and capture horizontally or vertically for any distance. A knight can move and capture by moving 2 squares horizontally and then 1 square vertically, or 2 squares vertically and then 1 square horizontally. It can leap over other pieces along its moving path and reach the destination. A bishop can move and capture diagonally for any distance. The queen can move and capture horizontally, vertically or diagonally for any distance. The king can move and capture 1 square in any direction. Once in every game, the king can perform
