Chess is one of the oldest board games out there and now it’s on the internet too. Platforms like Chess.com allow you to play customisable 1v1 games against your friends or random players over the internet. It also has various other features, which allow people to train skills, practice against different levels of computers and try out different chess formats too.

Now while earlier if you bought a chessboard, you were stuck with the way it looked until you got yourself a new one, Chess.com allows you to customise the look of your board as well as the entire website or app.

In this article, we’re going to discuss how you can change the default theme on Chess.com on PC as well as its Android and iOS apps.
