Simple HTML Chess Game

To create a simple HTML chess game, we can use a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Here are the steps to create a basic chess board:

Create an HTML file and define the basic structure of the page.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>Chess Game</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>
	<div class="board"></div>

	<script type="text/javascript" src="script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Add the necessary CSS to create the chess board.

.board {
  width: 400px;
  height: 400px;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.board div {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
}

.board .white {
  background-color: #f0d9b5;
}

.board .black {
  background-color: #b58863;
}

Add the necessary JavaScript to create the chess pieces and allow the user to move them.

var board = document.querySelector('.board');
var squares = [];

for (var i = 0; i < 64; i++) {
  var square = document.createElement('div');
  square.setAttribute('data-index', i);
  squares.push(square);
  board.appendChild(square);

  if (i % 8 === 0 || i % 8 === 2 || i % 8 === 4 || i % 8 === 6) {
    if (i < 24) {
      square.classList.add('piece', 'black');
    } else if (i > 39) {
      square.classList.add('piece', 'white');
    }
  }

  square.addEventListener('click', selectPiece);
}

var selectedPiece = null;

function selectPiece(event) {
  var index = parseInt(event.target.getAttribute('data-index'));

  if (selectedPiece === null) {
    if (event.target.classList.contains('piece')) {
      selectedPiece = event.target;
    }
  } else {
    if (event.target.classList.contains('piece')) {
      selectedPiece = event.target;
    } else {
      var selectedIndex = parseInt(selectedPiece.getAttribute('data-index'));

      if (isValidMove(selectedIndex, index)) {
        event.target.classList.add('piece');
        event.target.classList.add(selectedPiece.classList[1]);
        selectedPiece.classList.remove('piece');
        selectedPiece.classList.remove(selectedPiece.classList[1]);
        selectedPiece = null;
      }
    }
  }
}

function isValidMove(startIndex, endIndex) {
  var startRow = Math.floor(startIndex / 8);
  var startCol = startIndex % 8;
  var endRow = Math.floor(endIndex / 8);
  var endCol = endIndex % 8;

  if (startRow === endRow || startCol === endCol) {
    return true;
  } else {
    return false;
  }
}

Save the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files and open the HTML file in a web browser to see the chess board in action.

This is just a basic example of a chess game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. There are many ways to improve and expand upon this game, such as adding more advanced movement rules, allowing for multiplayer functionality, and implementing a scoring system.
