Making a Move

To make a move, place the mouse cursor over a red piece. The available moves are indicated with white dots. Press the mouse button to grab the piece and drag it to the available location. Release the mouse button to complete the move.

To see how the pieces can be moves, see the Pieces and Movement page.

While it's the computer's turn to make a move, a round indicator is shown on the left side of the board. During this time you cannot make a move or issue any other command.

Note that moves can be sometimes prohibited even if they would be normally legal. See the Prohibited Moves and Repetition Rules pages to see which moves are not allowed. See also the Illegal Moves page to see how HiddenLynx informs you of these moves.
