Variant ♟ Standard chess ☁️ Fog of War — you only see the squares your pieces can reach. No check: take the king to win. Just for fun, no rewards.

Difficulty (in Fog of War, Easy and Medium only know what they see; Hard peeks through the fog) Easy — looks one move ahead and often plays loosely. Good for learning. Medium — sees your answer to its move and does not give pieces away. Hard — thinks several moves ahead and punishes mistakes.
