Learn To Play Chess
If you would like to learn to play chess, check out the 5 pages of step by step instructions here. There is also a version to print out the information and learn the game off line.
Chess For Kids
Not only is this for kids, but for anyone new at the game. This site is filled with information on the chess pieces, how they move and basic strategy.
Chess Puzzles
Once you have learned the basic chess moves, test yourself by trying some of these puzzles. Check out the "how to play" section here to learn how to enter the moves properly for this test.
Classic Chess Problems
See if you can solve these puzzles for the chess fan.
Chess Problems
See if you can mate the machine in the number of moves stated in each chess problem description.
Computer Chess
Click the top play button and the computer goes first. Click on the second, and you go first. To play, click the piece you want to move, then click the square where you want it to go and hit play. Or, if you prefer, you can type in your moves and hit play.
Postcard Chess
Play against a friend by sending an email postcard. All you need to do is enter your friend's name and email address and your name and email address, type in your move and any comments and click send. Your friend is sent a link to the chess board postcard where he/she can make a move and mail it back to you. Check it out!
GameKnot Chess
You have three different options. You can start a new game that everybody will be able to join, you can challenge another player to a game or you can invite your friends to join GameKnot.com to play you. (Webtv/Msntv use the multiplayer version, not Java)
Stan's Net Chess
Play against other people here. Find opponents of different skill levels, some that want to make only 1 or 2 moves a day and others that want to make several.
Chess
This game is in test mode, but you can play multiple games of chess at once. Click on "see" to view the board and on the game number to play.
Chess
This is a really good game. You can click right on the piece you want to move. (There is also a link to a good othello game here.)
Beholder Board Virtual Chess
This is a 2 player game in which you will be emailed when your opponent makes his move.
Pocket-Monkey
This site has a non java version of their games for webtv/msntv users. They are free turn based games such as chess, checkers, backgammon, kings and more. Check them out!
Chinook
If you like checkers, take a look here.

Some of the checker games haven't been working properly since the last upgrade. This one and the one above work ok.
Checkers
Cute, brightly colored game.
Checkers
I have tried all of these checker games and learned one thing...I can LOSE on any of them!
Queens
Another version of the above games.
Queens
When you place a queen, this game provides help by putting x's to show what squares that queen affects. Try it, you will get the idea.
Knight Moves
A BIG board requiring LOTS of moves!
Knight Moves Solution Finder
If you are totally frustrated with the Knights problem, you can always use this solution finder to help you. It still takes a little work though.
Hnefatafl
Anyone know how to pronounce that? Anyway, the blacks have to get the black king to any perimeter square. The whites have to stop him.
Scribble
I had a link to this game a long time ago, then it disappeared. It is back in test mode and fun as ever. Play multiple games of Scribble (which is as close to Scrabble as you will ever get) at the same time. Just click on the board you want to play and the board is locked out to other players for a time. (About 3 minutes, I think)
Scrabble Challenge
In this game, everyone is playing the same board and letters. Once you have submitted your word, you are locked out for 30 minutes. Only the best words are added to the board which is updated every 15 hours.
Bug Cafe
Here is a really good, free, play by email Scrabble game for 2 to 4 players. You can sign up for yourself and your friend(s) or find a random opponent. Just click on the board where you want to place a letter. A separate screen will come up showing the letters you have. Then click on the letter you want to use. You can send messages to each other too!

I don't know how to play backgammon, but here it is.
Isola
G-r-r-r! Frustrating game! The object is to isolate the computer's red disc before it can isolate your blue disc. You take turns against the computer moving your disc one space then removing one of the 48 "plates" from anywhere on the board. You may not move to a spot where the plate has been removed. The game is over when one of the discs is isolated and can no longer move.

Play a little more connect four.

You have to have 2 players for this Connect Four game.

Mancala Snails
I lose, even in this Flash version of mancala but it's fun to watch those cute little snails. Three difficulty levels against the computer or choose the 2 player option.
Nim
Similar to mancala, this game uses stones. You may choose from 2 computer opponents. The object is to take the last stone from the last group of a randomly set amount.

A fun, and like a nice lady told me, addicting tile matching game. You can change the Tile Set, Background and Layout of this game also.

A challenging game of strategy.
