FAQ's:
1: How do I play against a friend in 3D Chess – Arcane Edition?
Tap "Play a Friend" on the landing screen to create a private room, then share the room code. The other person can open the link and play as the other colour.
2: Do I need an account to play?
No. There's no login and no database — just pick a name, play, and close the tab when you're done. Multiplayer rooms are temporary: once everyone leaves, the game and its history are gone for good.
3: How strong is the computer opponent?
3D Chess – Arcane Chess runs Stockfish, one of the strongest chess engines in the world, directly in your browser. You can set it to Easy, Medium, or Hard from the settings before or during a solo game.
4: Can I get a hint if I'm stuck?
Yes — the lightbulb button offers up to 3 hints per game (with a short cooldown between uses), highlighting the engine's recommended move. In solo mode this is a rewarded feature.
5: Does 3D Chess – Arcane Edition work on mobile?
Yes. Pieces can be tapped or dragged with touch, the camera automatically adapts the board framing to phone screens, and the game rotates itself into a landscape layout on upright phones so the board isn't cramped in portrait.
