ChessWithPass now supports Pass & Play mode, allowing two players to enjoy a complete game on a single device. Perfect for families, classrooms, friends, travel and over-the-board learning.

Pass & Play Mode Is Now Live on ChessWithPass

A new feature has arrived on ChessWithPass.

Players can now enjoy ChessWithPass face-to-face on a single device using the new Pass & Play mode.

After every move, the board automatically rotates, allowing both players to sit across from each other and experience the game naturally, just like over a physical chessboard.

More Than Just Another Chess Feature

For more than 1,500 years, classical chess has been played without the ability to skip a move.

Every position required action.

Every turn demanded a response.

ChessWithPass introduced a new strategic option: the right to pass once during the game.

Now, for the first time, players can explore, practice, teach, and analyze games with the Pass move directly on the official ChessWithPass platform.

Why Pass & Play Matters

Not every chess game happens online.

Many games take place between friends sitting at the same table.

Between parents and children.

Between teachers and students.

Between family members.

Between curious minds exploring new ideas together.

Pass & Play mode makes ChessWithPass easier to use in homes, schools, clubs, coffee shops, libraries, and while traveling.

Who Is It For?

• Parents teaching children

• Teachers and chess instructors

• Friends sharing one device

• Families playing together

• Players discovering ChessWithPass for the first time

• Offline and travel situations

How It Works

Create a new game and select Pass & Play.

Both players use the same device.

After every move, the board automatically rotates for the next player.

No second account is required.

No public lobby is involved.

Just one board.

Two players.

One screen.

And a chess move that classical chess never had.

A Small Feature. A Historic Step.

Throughout history, millions of games have been played under one assumption:

a move cannot be skipped.

ChessWithPass challenges that assumption by introducing the Pass move as a formal part of the game.

With the launch of Pass & Play mode, players can now experience this new strategic dimension together on a single device through the official ChessWithPass platform.

We look forward to seeing players around the world explore, teach, analyze, and enjoy games where the right to pass becomes part of the strategy.

The game continues.
