What Is Online Chess?

Also known as Speed Chess and Blitz, online chess is a fast-paced version of the traditional chess board game. Blitz chess refers to a chess game with a fast time control that results in an adrenaline rush in players due to the potential unusual openings, pre-moves, and blunders while playing in a time-based environment.

Chess Gameplay

MPL chess is available in a 1v1 mode for battles and 1vN mode for tournaments. There are a total of 32 chess pieces on the board, with each side having 16 pieces. In MPL Chess game online play, there are 6 distinct types of Chess pieces. The ultimate goal is to deliver a checkmate by trapping the opponent's King. Each player has 3 minutes to make their moves.

Chess Game Rules

The rules of online chess are similar to the conventional chess game where the players take alternate turns to move one piece at a time, starting with White. Here are the basic game rules to move the pieces:
King (Raja)
The King is one of the most important Chess pieces, but it is also one of the weakest. The king can only move one square in any direction – up, down, left, right, and diagonally. When any piece attacks the King, then this is known as 'Check'.
Queen (Rani)
The Queen is one of the powerful chess pieces, as she can move any number of squares in any direction - vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. However, if a Chess piece from her side is in the way, then the Queen cannot move past it.
Rook (Hathi)
The Rooks can move in a straight line, both vertically and horizontally. They can be extremely powerful when used together.
Bishop (Oont)
In a Chess game, the Bishops can move as many unoccupied squares as they want, but only diagonally. Each bishop starts on a certain color (white or black). They remain and travel on this color throughout the game.
Knight (Ghora)
The Knight moves in an 'L' shape with two steps front, and one step left or right. This chess piece is unique because it is the only one that can 'jump' over other chess pieces to move past them.
Pawns (Pyada)
Pawns are usually the first pieces used to start a game of Chess. They can move only one square forward at a time but must capture an enemy piece diagonally. Pawns cannot move backward and cannot capture or move past pieces directly in front of them.
