The platform promise
Decide who competes. Guest lists, FIDE eligibility, friends-only, club access, rating brackets, age brackets, password gating. Every event configured for exactly the audience you want.
Head-to-head, league, knockout, hybrid. Normalise skill gaps with rating brackets, piece handicaps, or Chess960. Configure rulesets for any competitive scenario.
Monitoring signals, identity verification, and an anonymous expert committee for fair-play reviews. Trust is infrastructure, not an afterthought.
Board customisation
Classic wood, soft curves, bold colour, textured marble — or neon cyber and cherry blossom. Dozens of combinations across piece styles, square rounding, and highlight colours. Every piece, every square — yours.
