Chessmates

Chessmates is the social network for over-the-board chess. Find players, meetups, tournaments and clubs in your city — and join games at real boards with real people. No online play. Just chess, in person, where you live. WHAT YOU CAN DO ▸ Find chess in your area Open the map and see every meetup, tournament and club within 50 km. Filter by skill level, time control, or what's happening this week. ▸ Post your own meetup Going to a café and want company? Post a quick meetup, pick a place, and other players nearby can RSVP. It's that simple. ▸ Link your ratings Connect your Lichess, Chess.com and FIDE profiles so other players can see how you play before sitting down at the board. Optional and private if you want. ▸ Connect with players Add friends, see who's RSVP'd to the same events as you, message anyone in your city. ▸ Find clubs Local chess clubs are listed and verified — opening hours, contact info, and a link to RSVP for their regular sessions. ▸ Notifications that matter Get notified when a meetup near you goes live, when a friend RSVPs, or when someone messages you. All other notifications are off by default. DESIGNED FOR REAL CHESS We built Chessmates because online chess is huge but the over-the-board scene is fragmented across club websites, WhatsApp groups, and word of mouth. There was no easy way to find a real game in your city. Now there is. PRIVATE AND SAFE ▸ Your email address is never visible to other users. ▸ Your precise location is never shared. We only show your city. ▸ You can delete your account and all your data any time from settings. ▸ Full privacy policy at chessmates.live/legal Available worldwide. Built in Zurich.
