What we provide
Unblocked Chess provides a free browser-based chess game and educational content about chess. We don't promise the Site will always be available, error-free, or fit any particular purpose. It's offered "as is."
Acceptable use
You can use the Site for any lawful personal purpose. You agree not to:
- Scrape the Site at a rate that disrupts normal operation
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our servers or related systems
- Reverse-engineer, decompile, or otherwise abuse the Site's code beyond normal browser use

Intellectual property
The original content on Unblocked Chess — articles, tutorials, original code, design, and branding — is owned by Unblocked Chess and is protected by copyright. You're welcome to read it, learn from it, and link to it. Copying full articles or substantial portions to other websites without permission is not permitted.
The chess game itself uses open-source libraries (chess.js, chessboard.js, jQuery) under their respective licenses. The chess piece images on the playable board are from Wikimedia Commons under a free license. Standard chess theory (openings, common tactics, well-known games) is in the public domain and we cite sources where relevant.
Third-party content and links
The Site may link to or display content from third parties (advertisers, CDNs, video embeds). We don't control those third parties and aren't responsible for their content or practices. Use them at your own discretion.
Advertising
The Site displays ads provided by Google AdSense and possibly other ad networks. We don't endorse the products or services advertised. If you click an ad, you're leaving our Site and dealing directly with the advertiser.
Disclaimers
THE SITE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, SECURE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. WE DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, OR USEFULNESS OF ANY CONTENT.
Educational content on this Site is provided for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional chess coaching.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Unblocked Chess and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim related to the Site is limited to one hundred US dollars ($100).
Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold harmless Unblocked Chess from any claim or demand arising from your misuse of the Site or your violation of these terms.
Changes to the Site or these terms
We may modify the Site or these terms at any time. Significant changes to these terms will be noted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
Termination
We may suspend or restrict access to the Site for anyone who violates these terms. Since there are no accounts, this usually means blocking specific IP addresses or behaviors.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Unblocked Chess is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.
