Unlike other free Chess apps, chess on Facebook Messenger offers a unique and intriguing gameplay experience. While iOS Chess apps simulate real-life chess, Facebook Messenger's chess involves playing through message commands like @fbchess.
However, when inviting friends to play chess, it's recommended to inform them in advance, as this new feature might be mistaken for a virus. Regular users can use the Facebook Messenger virus detection feature for protection, while new users may confuse it with a chess utility.
