I was thinking the same. Chess would be quite difficult to learn, without any visuals.

I know the basic moves of chess, but I'm not too experienced with 'castling' and 'en passant'.

heres a place where you can play chess without the board :). but you do have to have an account. but dont worry, its from the same company who did runescape. shouldn't have trouble with trusting them i wouldn't think :). iv always loved chess. my fave technique is setting up a castle wall formation with the pawns
