How to play Chess on Facebook messenger/Chat

 

 Playing Chess using Facebook Chat just got better , gone are the days when a friend would suggest we play chess on Facebook by manually putting in the moves without seeing a board almost like it is blind fold chess, now Facebook has enabled users to play chess on FB messenger on a computer or on a Smart phone by using special commands that is very easy tho learn.
STEP ONE -   Start a conversation in Facebook Messenger  when you wish to start a game you enter "@fbchess play" to begin a game of chess between yourself and the person you are  chatting with .
STEP TWO - Depending on who is on the  white or Black (side)To move your pieces, you will need to be familiar with the commands used to  move the pieces/Chess men and the squares you want to move the Chess men to.  for example @fbchess e4 to move the pawn in front of the king to e4 square @fbchess Nf3 to play whites Knight to the f3 square , @fbchess Nxe5 to capture a piece on square e5 with your knight or @fbchess Bxe5 in the case of a Bishop , @fbchess 0-0  to Castle , @fbchess Draw to offer or claim draw , @fbchess undo to request a takeback , @fbchess Resign to Resign in a Game.
K is for king, Q for queen, B for bishop, N for knight, R for rook and P is for pawn.
If you are not sure of what to do you can always enter "@fbchess help" in the conversation's text field. the list of commands and instructions will then show up. thus -
