How to Play Undercover Chess Online
- Choose a computer difficulty or create a private room and invite one friend.
- Each king and the three pawns in front of it start face up and loyal. The other 12 pieces are shuffled face down, including three enemy agents on each side.
- On your turn, either move one revealed piece or reveal any covered piece on the board without moving it.
- A covered piece cannot move, capture, attack, or give check until it is revealed.
- A covered piece's background shows which side currently controls it. Being captured or choosing Reveal exposes its real identity.
- A loyal piece stays under your control. An enemy agent immediately switches to its real side.
- Every action passes the turn. A reveal or betrayal never grants an extra response move.
- When your turn begins in check, covered pieces cannot move or be revealed in place.
- Checkmate the opposing king to win the match.
- In a private match, every turn has 60 seconds. A timeout skips the turn; three timeouts lose the match.
They do not move or attack. Spend a turn revealing a covered piece before it can use its normal movement.
