[edit] Gameplay

Chess is a turn-based game, and can be played in either 2D mode or 3D mode,where the only differences are in the way the pieces are rendered; it defaults to 3D mode, but some players find it easier to distinguish the pieces in 2D mode. It uses a standard chess board. Players who are playing chess can chat with their friends on RuneScape and the multi-player FunOrb games. There is a lobby for players who want to play chess together, and there is a hotseat mode, where two players play on the same computer.

[edit] Rated Games

Every multiplayer game has a player rating, which determines the player's average score. When playing a rated game, the winner will gain rating, while the loser will lose rating. Each player has separate ratings for different games. One cannot choose their opponent in a rated game, and it cannot be played in hotseat mode.

When choosing the parameters for a rated game, note that multiple time lengths may be selected at once. Selecting multiple lengths may reduce the wait time to be paired in a rated game while providing more influence on the game length than simply selecting "Don't mind".

[edit] Trivia

If a person resigns before the sixth move of the game is made, the other player will get the "Quick Mover" achievement, and potentially the "Safe Mover" and "Pacifist" achievements as well. The only other method of getting all three of these achievements at once is through the "Fool's Mate" checkmate. The only typical method of getting "Quick Mover" would be "Scholar's mate."

During the 2008 Halloween Event, there was much ranting by players who could not identify which chess piece was which when they changed their appearance for 2 weeks.
