Gameplay:

Start as a King: You begin the game as a king piece.
Capture Pieces: You can capture opponent pieces by moving your king to an adjacent square with an opponent's piece. Upon capturing an opponent's piece, it will become part of your side of the board.
Protect Your King: As you capture more pieces, you'll build up your army to protect your king. The more pieces you have, the better your defenses.
Conquer the Map: Your goal is to conquer as much of the map as possible by capturing pieces and expanding your territory. The game is similar to Chess in that you aim to control the board.
Survive and Expand: Be strategic in your moves to protect your king while capturing your opponent's pieces. Expanding your territory and keeping your king safe are the keys to success.
Promotion: If you manage to move one of your pawns to the opponent's back rank (their side of the board), you can right-click on the pawn to promote it to another piece (typically a queen or another powerful piece).
Multiplayer Chess: Xess.io is a multiplayer game, so you'll be competing against other players. Strategy, timing, and your ability to capture and protect pieces will determine your success in the game.
