Its minimalistic approach sets it apart from most of the other chess implementations on the internet. Why yet another chess implementation, what makes PlainChess different?
It was originally published in January 2011 and as of March 2013 its code is open source and licensed under the GPL Version 3 license. It's designed to be platform independent and to run on every computer or smart phone equipped with a modern web browser and thus enabling people everywhere around the globe to play chess, at home and on the go, online and offline. Its primary goal is to allow two persons to play a round of chess, no matter whether they happen to be at the same location or on a different continent. PlainChess aims to be a simple yet full–featured and beautiful alternative to the cluttered chess portals currently existing.
