Can you still play chess in Messenger?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

Absolutely! You can still play chess on Facebook Messenger. It’s a great way to challenge your friends or have a fun game with someone you’re chatting with.

To start a game of chess, all you need to do is enter the command “@fbchess play” in the chat. This command will initiate a game with the person you’re chatting with. Once you enter the command, a chessboard will appear in the chat window, and you can start playing.

The chessboard is displayed using algebraic notation, which means each square is represented by a combination of a letter and a number. The letters represent the columns, while the numbers represent the rows. For example, the bottom left square is a1, and the top right square is h8.

To make a move, you need to use the algebraic notation. For example, if you want to move a pawn from e2 to e4, you would type “e2 e4” in the chat. If you’re not familiar with algebraic notation, you can also use the command “@fbchess help” to get a list of available commands and instructions on how to play.

Playing chess on Facebook Messenger can be a lot of fun, especially if you enjoy the game and want to challenge your friends. It’s a convenient way to play chess without needing a physical board or being in the same location as your opponent.

I remember playing chess on Messenger with my friend last year. We used to have a friendly competition, challenging each other to games whenever we had some free time. It was a great way to stay connected and engage in a mentally stimulating activity.

So, if you’re a chess enthusiast or simply want to try your hand at the game, go ahead and give it a try on Facebook Messenger. It’s a fun and convenient way to enjoy a game of chess with your friends or anyone you’re chatting with.
