Very classic puzzle casual games, chessboards and pieces are the same as Go, players can choose to play with other players, or play with AI. Chess is easy to play, young and old, but also interesting and fascinating: it can not only enhance thinking ability, improve intelligence, but also rich in philosophy, help to maintain. Rules: (1) Each party to the game to hold a color piece. (2) The empty board opens. (3) Black first, white first, alternate sub, each time can only be the next son. (4) The pieces under the blank point of the board, after the pieces are fixed, may not move to other points, may not be removed from the board or picked up another place. (5) The black side's first piece must be played on the Tianyuan point, that is, the center intersection (6) Rotating is the right of both parties, but allows neither party to waive the sub-right (i.e., pass right). Play: The two sides use black and white pieces, under the board straight and horizontal intersection, first form a five-child wirer to win.
