A new game has been released in Baspinar's Castle. You can play the classic game of Chess against a knight of the castle once per day for FREE. Game resets at 00:00MST. If you win the game of Chess against a knight, you will win MP15,000MP and two entries to the daily Knight Raffle. If you lose or draw, you'll still win MP2,500MP and one entry to the raffle.

The Knight Raffle will select three random winners who have entered by playing Chess, Draughts or Reversi (both games coming soon) the previous day.There will be one winner of £5 Account Upgrade Credits and two winners of £2 Account Upgrade Credits.
We have a lot of news and updates to keep up with but we hope you all read our Latest Update about our plans for the next couple of months. We're working really hard to release over a year's worth of planned new content, updates, games, features and rewards in April and May to keep you all entertained (and distracted) from what's going on in the world right now. By releasing content MUCH quicker than usual, it's had a little less testing than usual on all of the possible browsers, devices, operating systems, etc that you all play. We strive to make all new and existing content on Marapets work for EVERYONE equally but please be patient and help us do this by reporting any issues and bugs on any new and recent content at the Help Forums. Before creating a new topic, please check if one already exists and add more information to this. If you can, please provide screenshots of errors you experience - the more info we get, the quicker we can make things work for all!

The goal of Chess is to trap your opponent's king (checkmate). There are six different pieces and they all have their own way of moving. When a king is threatened with capture (but can protect himself or escape), it's called check and you must make a move to take the king out of check. Checkmate happens when a king is placed in check and no moves can be made to escape. A checkmate will end the game. If a pawn reaches the opponent´s edge of the table, it will be promoted – the pawn may be converted to a queen, rook, bishop or knight, as the player desires.

To anyone struggling, my advice is maximum aggression. The AI gets flustered as soon as you bring your queen out and start going postal. It'll also make super-unnecessary sacrifices to prevent simple checks, which is unusual.

@Brinco A Stalemate is a situation where neither you nor your opponent can win. This is usually because no one has any available moves left (I.E you're forced to put yourself in check, or all of your pawns are blocked by other pieces)
