How ChessChat app works

  1. Get matched in seconds

    Hit play and we pair you with a real person looking for a game right now, matched by rating, so it’s a fair fight.

  2. Say hi, face to face

    Your webcams connect over live video the moment you’re paired. It’s chess with a human on the other side, not a username.

  3. Pick a speed and play

    Agree on bullet, blitz, or rapid together, then play a rated game. Rematch, find someone new, or head back whenever you like.
