Chess without turns

Judo Chess is chess without turns! Pieces traverse the board over time rather than jumping immediately to their destination. Once a piece moves, there is a short delay before the piece can move again.

Beta Test

Try out the new version of Judo Chess! We've rewritten the game entirely in Html5 and Javascript, so that Judo Chess works in any browser and does not require Silverlight. This is a beta test, so games are unrated for now and some features are missing and/or incomplete. We'd love to hear your feedback in our forums.

4/19/2015 \| Google Chrome Google dropped support for Silverlight in their latest version of the Chrome browser. So if you try to log in now and get asked to download Silverlight, and the download doesn't work, that's Google's fault. What can you do about it? Couple options: use another browser like Firefox or Internet Explorer. Or you can browse to chrome://flags/#enable-npapi and re-enable npapi.
