What pieces are worth

A rough price for every piece, so you know a good trade from a gift. You'll be able to: trade sensibly and never leave a piece hanging.

Arrow keys move between squares; up is towards your opponent. Enter or Space picks a piece up and puts it down. Escape puts it back.

Step 1 of 5

Pieces have rough values, counted in pawns: a pawn 1, a knight 3, a bishop 3, a rook 5, a queen 9. The king has no price: lose it and the game is over.

Tap one of White's pieces worth 5.
