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
- play!
Let's go through these steps calmly.
1. Find an opponent
In the start screen, you can invite other players to play against you by clicking on the username. Another player can also invite you; you can see this by the cross that appears next to a name (clicking on the cross is: reject invitation).
You can also always play against a robot. The robots are recognizable 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, different games appear on the screen that you can play. Then click on the game you want to do. If the other person also wants to play this game and clicks on it, the game starts automatically. If the other person clicks on another game, you must 'negotiate' together until you agree.
3. Play
Play games (different or the same) against your opponent until one of you no longer wants to play.
