Chess Guild

Chess Guild is a chess game built as a living guild, not just a board.

Play right here in your browser as a guest, with no sign-up wall. Jump into a quick match against a real player, practice against the computer across five difficulty levels, or start learning chess from zero with a guided path of lessons. You can also watch live games as they happen, follow recent results and the leaderboard, and see tournament standings in real time.

THE FULL GAME

Get the complete experience in the Android app and on the main website, with one shared world and cross-platform play.

Online play: quick match against real players in one shared pool, ranked and unranked games, private matches by invite, live spectating, server-validated moves and server clocks for fair games, and ratings powered by the Glicko-2 system.

Tournaments: full championships in several formats, league with home and away legs, Swiss, knockout, and groups leading into knockout rounds, with titles and Gold Coins prizes for the champions.

Dungeons: three dungeons of rising floors. Every floor is guarded by a monster you defeat by solving mate puzzles, and at the top of each dungeon waits a boss that must be beaten in a full game of chess, with only three hearts to spare.

Stages: a ladder of twelve opponents from your first steps at 200 all the way to the maximum at 3800. Beat one to unlock the next.

Puzzles and learning: hundreds of mate puzzles drawn from real games, plus a full learning curriculum of fourteen lessons that takes you from how the pieces move to real tactical play, in your language.

A WORLD IN TEN LANGUAGES

Chess Guild speaks Arabic, English, Russian, Chinese, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Hindi, Persian, and Urdu, with full right-to-left support where it belongs, six board themes, and real chess sound effects.

FAIR PLAY FIRST

Every online move is verified on the server, clocks are judged on the server, and a dedicated anti-cheat system reviews finished games and flags engine assistance, so honest players can trust every result.

Free to play. Start as a guest in seconds, and when you are ready for ranked games, tournaments, dungeons, and your own profile, download the Android app or continue on the main website and join the guild.
