Online Chess without Login Website (GNU)?


Hello,

Wanna play chess with friends without login?

Ok this one is excellent: https://lichess.org

However, it does not work on an EBOOK reader.
An Ebook reader has Java, of course, but it won't allow the drag and drop.

Would you know possible alternative to lichess.org that may work with ebook,... all devices?

I don't know of one, but you could always program one yourself
