How play works

Chess first. Free and ranked games use server clocks and published rules. Paid contest is not enabled on this server.

  1. 01Pick a queue

    Casual, ranked, or computer. No wallet required to start.

  2. 02Compete on skill

    Standard chess, server-authoritative clocks, and published competition rules.

  3. 03Keep playing

    Ratings update on ranked games. Paid contest stays off until this server enables it.

Built for trust

Premium chess platform first — transparent settlement where prizes are offered.

  • Skill has stakes

    Outcomes follow chess results and published rules, not chance.

  • Transparent USDC

    Stable entries and visible fees so a $10 stake stays about $10.

  • Published review

    Illegal-move holds, player disputes, and paid-play country gates are live. There is no server engine-similarity detector.

Skill competition

Free and ranked chess, server clocks, and published rules. Paid contest is not enabled on this server.

Is this a game of chance?

No. Outcomes follow chess results and published rules. Prizes follow the published schedule after the result and any staff review.

Do I need a wallet to start?

Free and ranked play work without one. Connect a wallet only when you choose an equal-entry contest or paid tournament.

How do equal-entry contests work?

When paid contest is enabled, both players lock the same USDC amount and the published prize pays after the result and any staff review. It is not open on this server yet.
