Fans of Facebook Messenger might be surprised to know there's a neat little game hidden inside the app.
The classic game of chess has been sneaked into the Facebook messaging service and can only be accessed with a secret code.
If you fancy a game, then you can challenge your mates by sending the simple message "@fbchess play".
As soon the message is sent a basic chess board will pop-up on the screen and you can begin playing straight away.
However, playing the brain-testing game isn't quite as simple as finding it.
Gamers are able to play by typing in a specific Algebraic Notation – for example, @fbchess e4 or @fbchess Pe4 will move a pawn to e4 on the board.
B is used for bishop, R moves the rook, Q for queen, K for king, and, because K is already used for King, the letter N moves your knight.
Having had a game Daily Star Online can reveal it's pretty frustrating to start, but learning the codes soon speeds things up.
