In case you've been worrying about spending too much time on social media, this piece of news might depress you a little because Facebook is doing its best to keep you online for as long as they can. We've told you about how Facebook Messenger has added some very cool updates, as it prepares itself to become the primary choice of communication for its users.
Here are a few games you could play to waste some more of your precious time online.
Before everything, make sure your FB messenger is updated to the latest version.
Play Chess
- Access the game by typing @fbchess play in the chat window of the person you want to play with.
- A chess board should appear. The person starting the game will automatically be the white player. White always makes the first move.
Now begins the little annoying part.
- Even though your phone is, the game itself isn't touchscreen. Not yet at least. So every move needs to begin with the prefix "@fbchess" followed by the square you want to move it to.
- For example, if you want your rook to move to square E6, use the command "@fbchess Re6"
- Same for others. King is K, Queen is Q, Bishop is B, Pawn is P, Rook is R and Knight is N.
- Typing "@fbchess resign" forfeits the game.
- Typing "@fbchess stats" gives the statistics of the players playing the game.
- You can select which player you want to play with by typing “@fbchess play white” or “@fbchess play black”. If no colour is chosen, you get white, which is the default.
- If at any point you need some help with the game, just type "@fbchess help".
That's it! Agree, it's not very fluid, but it's still pretty cool nevertheless. This game will not stop you from having a conversation. You can carry on chatting with your friend as the game goes on.
