How to play
Every piece fights for itself in this chess survival arena. Forget protecting a king — your goal is to be the final piece left on the board, and every capture rewires the balance of power.

Tips and strategy
- Use pawns as bait to draw out stronger enemy pieces.
- Keep your knight mobile — its jump lets it escape most traps.
- Think about tempo: force the opponent to react rather than advance.
- Don't over-commit a piece to a corner it can't escape.
- Study each piece's range before trading, since captures change the whole board.
About Last Chess Standing
Last Chess Standing reimagines the classical board as a survival arena where every piece on the squares is fighting for itself. Forget protecting a king, the goal is simply to be the final piece left moving, and every capture rewires the balance of power. Knights, bishops, and pawns each play to their familiar strengths, but with no allies to shield them, positioning, baiting, and tempo become wildly more important. Quick matches and rule variants keep the strategic puzzle fresh, and you do not need years of opening theory to enjoy it. A clever twist for fans of chess and bite-sized strategy games.
