Terms

Last updated: 13 November 2026.

Noodle Chess is a game by Workaholic Developers (workaholicdevelopers.com). By playing it you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. Our general terms and conditions also apply where this page doesn't say otherwise.

Free to play

Everything in Noodle Chess is free: every character, pass & play, every lesson and puzzle, the Daily puzzle, analysis and online play. There is nothing to buy, no ads and no accounts, on this website and in the iPhone, iPad and Android apps.

Playing fair online

Online rooms are refereed by our server, which checks every move against the rules and keeps the clocks. Names are made up by the game and the only messages are eight preset emotes. Please be kind: use the emotes as they are meant, don't use another engine to play your moves in rated games, and don't try to break the server or spoil other people's games. We may close a room or block a device that does.

Fair use

The game, its characters, lessons, puzzles, boards, piece sets, music and sounds are ours. You may play them as much as you like; please don't copy them into another product. Chess itself belongs to everyone.

No warranty

The game is provided as it is. We work hard to keep it correct and running, but we can't promise it will always be available, especially online play, which needs our server and your connection.

Changes

We may update these terms when the game changes. The date at the top tells you when.
