How to play.

Although this game is not exactly like chess just remember that it is played by the same rules, if your king is taken you lose so it is incredibly important to keep your king safe before anything else. One of the biggest differences with chess is that in Xess there are no turns, you simply move your pieces as many times as you want, although you still have to follow the official moves of each piece. Due to this fact, pieces like the queen have great value as they are able to move in any direction. To thrive in this game you have to be quick and have a good awareness of all your pieces.
