Doubles (Bughouse), as you will find it everywhere, is a game variant in which captured pieces can be dropped back on the board instead of moving a piece (similar to Crazyhouse) and it's played in teams of 2 people.
Important: only live games count towards the achievements.

You can either play single live games or join tournaments.

In order to play follow the steps (starting in home page):
