Tic Tac Chess

The easiest way to learn Chess and the most popular chess variant in the world

Tic Tac Chess is both a chess teaching tool and a clever strategy game. Each player has four pieces: a knight, a rook, a bishop and a pawn. The object of the game is to be the first to align your pieces in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row. Play starts on an empty 4 x 4 board and players take turns placing a piece on any open square. Once at least three pieces are placed per player, they may move a piece, capture a piece or place their remaining piece. Captured pieces are returned to their player and may be replayed on any open square.
