It's kinda confusing because you can't tell where the opponenet moved.
Congratulations on a good program/game. I do agree with the last commenter that it is difficult to see where the computer oponent moves. (it might be good to make it flash three times before moving it to its new location). I used the back key to see the 'before and after' of the computer's move, but I found that the computer picked a different move every time!
It is good, but little confusing, cause you don’t know what the opponent moved, also not showing winner of the game
First of all it wasn't easy it was more college level and should be brought down to about seventh grade level or should have a level choosing, but nethertheless it was entertaining.
easy game,cant lose.
This is an excellent easy program to build up confidence. One needs the experience of winning to realise that one can prevail - however low level the achievement happens to be.
if you can lose this then you're terrible
If you come play a game called 'easy chess' and expect anything less, you are terrible. Great resource for the very beginning player (me) who is still thinking one move at a time. I'm actually learning something here, and am winning more than losing. I like the 'back' feature, It gives me a good chance to analyze the situation as a whole and not just the piece I am concentrating on.
it thought i won in 4 moves when you can only win in 5. huh?!?!
the board woulnt let me move when ever i wanted to kill a piece, it just killed me :(
This is fantastic! Perfect for me who just learned 15 minutes ago!
This is a fantastic page, functionality and simplicity roll into one. I wish you could also provide no hassle online chess games versus other players, you could add a donate button or advertise using banners.
well i like it abit but i think it could be inproved oh well its okay
im giving you a below average because this chess is Quite hard it knows 4 move check mate
I think if you can't prevent four move checkmate (Fool's mate or scholar's mate) then you really need to learn how to stop it, else you'll be decimated by human places. Not a bad chess program, man, maybe a little bit easy (it walked into smothered mate) but it is called 'easy chess' for a reason. =]
I LIKE IT! IT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT CLAIMS TO BE ... EASY CHESS. IT IS GREAT FOR CHILDREN OR BEGINNER PRACTICE. (could be a little bit more refined but it is a very nice little program)
You can't castle
I just played 4 moves as white - moved the king's pawn up 1, put the bishop in front of the king, moved the knight out next to the advanced king's pawn, then clicked on the white king. It gave me 2 options: to move 1 square right, or 2 squares right. When I chose the 2 square option, it put the rook on the other side of the king. Were you trying to castle into, out of, or through a check?
I like the easy chess concept as a learning device and confidence builder. When playing the game, I have a difficult time following or figuring out where the computer opponent moved last. Is it possible to add a highlight of the last computer move? Similiar to the highlight of legal moves when the human plays. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Mr. Friedlander,
A couple of days ago, I just finished teaching both of my sons chess using your tutorial. They are 6 and 8 years old. My 8 year-old just beat me.
They both really like your tutorial because it's simple, and easy to understand.
Thank you, Ed!!

Agree this is an excellent tutorial. Would reinforce the comment about slowing the computer moves down so the player can easily see the move. Also, would be great for game to reference move (Rook to king's bishop 4) so the players can become more familiar with positions. But, overall this is a great effort. Thanks!
great site. thoroughly enjoyable practice, and a superb confidence builder. only constructive criticism i can offer is to dress up the site a little...
I think you should make it less simple? like when a horse can get killed but it doesn't get killed because the horse is going to kill something else like a queen, the queen moves instead of just killing the horse. Good job on it anyways.
