What You'll Get
Every feature is real. Every animation you see below is what you'll experience in game.
Face-to-Face Reactions
Watch your opponent's face light up — or crumble — as you execute a brilliant fork or sacrifice. WebRTC powers crystal-clear peer-to-peer video with no middleman.
ELO Rating Tracking
Every win and loss adjusts your rating using the ELO system (K=32). Climb the leaderboard, track your progress over time, and see exactly how you stack up.
Instant Rematch
Don't let a great match end. Request a rematch with one click — colors swap, the board resets, and you're playing again in seconds. Your opponent has 15 seconds to accept.
Immersive Sound Effects
Every move has its own sound — captures, castles, checks, promotions, and game start/end. Audio feedback makes the experience feel alive and responsive.
Game History & Stats
Every game is saved with the full move history. Review your past matches, analyze your wins and losses, and see your rating trend over time.
Timed Competitive Play
10-minute games with live countdown timers for both sides. No stalling, no waiting — just fast-paced chess that keeps the adrenaline flowing.
