Although you no doubt know there is a version of Playchess for the browser, you might not have realized just how complete it is. Sure you can play blitz games, but you can also tailor the time control to what you prefer. Sure you can watch a live blitz game by masters or grandmasters, but did you know you can run an engine to get immediate evaluations to know what is going on. Furthermore, if you are watching a broadcast, you can fill your screen with 8-9 boards and also get statistics on the opening moves, as well as run an engine, and all that directly in your browser without any software to download.

In the following video presentation you will be able to see all this in action and more.

 

We hope you enjoy it!
