GameScene Multiplayer Halloween Chess is played by two people over a standard Internet connection. The first player enters the lobby and uses the button at the upper left corner to create a table. Then he or she returns to the lobby to chat with other people there. When a player wants to challenge the first player, he or she simply clicks on the table listed, and is connected to the first player. Providing that the first player accepts the challenge, the game then begins.



Game play in GameScene Multiplayer Halloween Chess is as close as possible to the standard rules. Each player sees the board with their pieces at the bottom, and their opponent's at the top. The player to set up the table is white and takes the first turn. The accumulated time for each player's moves is shown. If the two players agree, they can end the game after a certain amount of time has been exceeded by one of the players.



In this Halloween version, the standard chess pieces are replaced with monsters. The king and queen are Frankenstein and the bride of Frankenstein. The bishops are vampires. The knight is a werewolf. The rook is a mummy. The pawns are hunchbacked laboratory assistants.



Special rules like En Passant and Castling are allowed, providing that the players meet all of the conditions that these special moves are governed by. To castle, move the king two spaces, and the rook will be moved automatically. When a pawn reaches the last row on the board, the player can choose any non-pawn piece to replace it. Check and checkmate are automatically declared by the game, the later will end the game. If you wish to reign, use the Resign button. If you wish to request a draw, click the Req Draw button.



GameScene Multiplayer Halloween Chess includes many additional features. You can use the Change Set button to pick a different set of icons to represent the chess pieces. You can turn on or off the teach mode, which will show you the possible legal moves for each piece when you select it. The Show Last button will replay your opponent's last move, in case you were looking away from the screen when it was originally shown. Click on that same button with the Shift key held down, and the whole game is replayed until the current move. The History button will copy the game, using standard notation, to your clipboard for you to save. Each move is GameScene Multiplayer chess spoken out loud by the game. If you wish to change the volume or turn this feature off, click on the little speaker icon above the history button.
