BooickPlay chess online
Find a real opponent in seconds, send a friend an invite link, or practise against the Creator bot. Full chess rules on a 3D neon board, free, in your browser.
Three ways to play
- Random opponent: choose to play a stranger and you are matched with another player who is waiting right now.
- A friend: create a game and share the invite link on WhatsApp or anywhere. They tap the link and the board opens.
- The Creator bot: play instantly any time, even when nobody else is online.
Real chess, nothing missing
Booick uses the full rules: castling, en passant, promotion, check, checkmate, stalemate and draws. Each player has a 10-minute clock, and you can offer a draw or resign. After the game you can step through the move list to see what went wrong.
Made to be easy on a phone
Switch between a 3D neon board and a flat 2D view, flip the board, and see captured pieces and the move list at any time. You get 3 hints per game if you are stuck. There is nothing to download.
Chat while you play
Each game room has a live chat, so you can talk about the position or just say good game. You stay anonymous: opponents see your nickname and mask, never your name or face.
