Chess: Quiet Move

A classic chess game unfolds right on the pages of an old book, where each chapter opens a new intellectual battle. In the game “Chess: Quiet Move,” players take on the computer as White without a timer and choose one of three difficulty levels. A convenient book-style layout records the game history in international notation, shows captured pieces, and suggests the names of famous openings. After six wins against your opponent, you can change the game’s appearance to a nighttime chess club with graphite tones and the warm evening glow of the board, or unlock a dazzling modernist theme featuring red, black, and cream hues, bold geometric patterns, and poster-style accents.

How to Play?

Open the chapter by selecting a difficulty level and start the game with the white pieces. When you highlight your pawn or bishop, special dots appear on the board indicating permissible moves, and circles mark possible captures of enemy pieces. Highlighting on the board always indicates your opponent’s last move, while an alarming red square warns of check. Castling is performed by simply moving the king two squares toward the rook; en passant captures are available immediately after a neighboring pawn moves two squares forward; and a pawn that reaches the last rank promotes to any piece of your choice. Read the instructional notes next to the board carefully, as the book provides detailed commentary on clever tactics right as the game unfolds. Checkmate ends the game in victory, but a stalemate, threefold repetition of the position, a material disadvantage, or fifty moves without a capture or pawn move automatically result in a draw. You can easily resume an unfinished battle at the same difficulty level even after closing the game by using a special button in the menu, and a victory at a high difficulty level will earn you a full point for the leaderboard.
