Yet there is nowhere for them to earn a living from it online.
Until now
"Chess has produced some of the greatest minds in history. But unlike almost every other competitive discipline, there's no structured way for players to earn from their skill online."
Football has its leagues. Tennis has its tour. Esports titles have prize pools in the millions. But chess — a game played by over 600 million people worldwide — has almost nothing for the online competitive player.
The platforms that exist are built for casual play. They are wonderful for learning and for fun. But they were never designed as a workplace for professionals. There is no path from being a strong player to earning from your skill.
We started Sacrifice.pro to change that.
Founded 2024 · Chess Wager Ltd
Sacrifice.pro is not another place to play casual chess. It is a competitive platform where skill is rewarded, fair play is guaranteed, and every game matters.
We built it for the players who have spent years studying openings, analysing endgames, and perfecting their craft — and who deserve a platform that takes their profession as seriously as they do.
Multiple formats — head-to-head, league, and knockout — with real financial rewards
Advanced anti-cheating systems that analyse every move, every game, every time
Stockfish-powered post-game analysis with move classification and accuracy scoring
Host your own tournaments with custom rules, time controls, and prize structures
Sacrifice.pro was conceived — a platform purpose-built for competitive chess professionals.
The platform takes shape. Tournament systems, game engine, analysis tools, community features — built from scratch.
Early access and community building. The first players join and the first tournaments begin.
Expanding to serve chess communities worldwide, with localised tournament circuits and multi-currency support.
Major online tournaments with substantial prize pools, bringing the excitement of elite competition to the digital arena.
Creating a sustainable ecosystem where dedicated players can build a career from their skill — coaching, competing, streaming, and analysing.
We are building for the long term. Every decision we make is guided by a single question: does this make Sacrifice.pro a better workplace for chess professionals?
Whether you want to compete, work with us, or simply learn more —we'd love to hear from you.
